| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed relief composition centred on a Type A-1 oxygen flight mask, of the kind worn by the crew of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay, rendered in precise detail. Below the mask, the uranium gun-type atomic bomb known as Little Boy is shown in free fall, its elongated cylindrical form descending toward an implied target, evoking the moment of the bombing of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945. The field is austere, with the design elements set against a flat background to maximise visual impact. The inscription HIROSHIMA appears in bold capitals, with the date 06.08.1945 below, serving as a stark commemorative legend. The overall composition is executed in antiqued silver, reinforcing the solemn historical narrative of the design. |
