| Reverse description | A dramatic scene commemorating the 1940 Evacuation of Dunkirk occupies the central field, depicting two British soldiers wading through the sea toward a rescue boat, with a third figure visible in the background and two aircraft flying overhead. The encircling legend, excerpted from Winston Churchill's famous wartime speech, reads 'WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE BEACHES · WE SHALL FIGHT ON THE LANDING GROUNDS ... WE SHALL NEVER SURRENDER' around the periphery. The denomination '$100' is prominently inscribed in the lower exergue in large raised characters. The overall composition is finely engraved in high relief with a mirror-polished proof finish. |
