| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a commemorative scene honouring the 90th anniversary of the Royal British Legion, showing three figures in the foreground — civilians including a child — gazing upward toward a formation of aircraft in flight, with a cascade of poppies descending from the sky in a symbolic 'poppy flypast.' A single red enamel poppy is prominently displayed in the lower foreground, providing a striking colour contrast against the gold-plated proof field. The denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the upper border, while the legend '1921 · ROYAL BRITISH LEGION · 2011' curves along the lower rim, marking the centenary span of the Legion. The overall composition conveys remembrance and tribute in a highly detailed, artistic relief. |
