| Reverse description | Three Norwegian saboteurs depicted in action, heavily laden with rucksacks and equipment, advancing in a crouching posture across the coin's field, commemorating the World War II special operations mission to destroy the German heavy water plant at Vemork in 1943. The figures are rendered in bold relief with fine detail on their winter clothing and gear. The curved legend OPERATION GUNNERSIDE arcs across the upper portion of the field, while ONE CROWN appears along the lower rim. A coloured red enamel poppy is applied at the bottom centre of the design as a symbol of remembrance. |
