| Reversbeschreibung | Dramatic commemorative design by Gary Breeze depicting three RAF airmen in flying kit scrambling across an airfield towards their waiting Spitfire and Hurricane fighter aircraft in the lower field. The composition is strikingly divided diagonally into contrasting polished and frosted fields, with a large formation of enemy bomber aircraft filling the upper sky. The bold inscription THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN dominates the centre of the design, with the date 1940 in the lower exergue. The engraver's initials GB appear at lower right. The overall design evokes the urgency and heroism of the aerial campaign of summer 1940. |

Issued on the 80th anniversary of the 1940 air campaign, this coin falls within a long-running Royal Mint commemorative program covering major Second World War events. The Battle of Britain itself was fought between July and October 1940, with RAF Fighter Command's ability to sustain losses and replace pilots proving more decisive than aircraft production — Britain was actually outbuilding Germany in fighters by mid-summer. The Spitfire has dominated public memory of the campaign, but it was the more numerous Hurricane that destroyed the majority of Luftwaffe aircraft.
