| Reverse description | A stylised dove of peace in flight, facing left and occupying the majority of the coin's field, rendered in a bold, modernist graphic style by sculptor John Mills. The bird's expansive wings are spread and fanned with deeply incised feather detail, curving dynamically to fill the circular flan. An olive branch with individual leaves is depicted to the lower left, reinforcing the motif of peace and commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. The composition is unlettered, allowing the powerful central design to dominate the mirrored proof field. |
