| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a Supermarine Spitfire in three-quarter perspective dominates the centre of the field, with the roundel and fuselage code KL-B clearly visible on its fuselage. Behind the aircraft, the outline silhouette of the British Isles is rendered in low relief, evoking the geographic theatre of the 1940 aerial campaign. The legend BATTLE OF BRITAIN arcs boldly across the upper periphery, while 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1940-1990 curves along the lower rim. The engraver's initials appear in the lower left field. The composition commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the RAF's decisive defence of Britain during the Second World War. |
