| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dramatic close-up view of a North American P-51 Mustang fighter aircraft fills the reverse field, with the prominent spinner and propeller hub in the foreground and the fuselage receding toward the right, bearing the nose art inscription 'Contrary Mary' on the cowling. Radiating sunburst lines emanate from behind the aircraft, lending a dynamic sense of speed and power to the composition. The aircraft is depicted in precise technical detail, evoking wartime imagery. The legend 'P-51 MUSTANG' curves along the upper rim in bold stylized lettering, while 'NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION' is inscribed along the lower rim. The date '2021' appears in the right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the Monnaie de Paris "Plane of Legend" series, this coin commemorates the P-51 Mustang — a fighter whose existence owed almost everything to a British order placed in 1940. North American Aviation designed and built the prototype in 117 days. The RAF flew it first; the USAAF adopted it later, fitting it with the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that transformed its high-altitude performance and made it the definitive long-range escort fighter over occupied Europe.
France's particular interest in the type is not incidental — Free French pilots flew Mustangs with the 1st Fighter Group.
