| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic high-relief sculptural scene commemorating the Japanese aerial attack on Pearl Harbor of December 7, 1941. In the foreground, a stricken American battleship lists sharply to port and begins to founder amid churning seas, while additional warships burning and under attack are visible in the middle ground. Multiple Japanese aircraft — including torpedo bombers and fighters — sweep across the upper field against a backdrop of billowing smoke and explosions, rendered with exceptional detail in the proof finish. The legend 'THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR' arcs along the upper border in raised Latin lettering. |
