| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the Vickers Vimy biplane in three-quarter view occupies the central field, superimposed over a compass rose rendered as a dotted circular grid, evoking the historic 1919 England-to-Australia air race route. The aircraft's twin engines, struts, and undercarriage are rendered with considerable engraving detail. An outer border legend names the four crew members of the winning aircraft: CAPT. ROSS M SMITH, LT. KEITH M SMITH, SGT. WALLY H SHIERS, and SGT. JIM M BENNETT, with the inscriptions THE GREAT AIR RACE 1919 and ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA arcing around the circumference, and VICKERS VIMY appearing above the aircraft. |
