| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by David Cornell, depicts a foreground figure of a uniformed British Legion trumpeter in modern dress, raising a bugle to his lips, with his regimental badge visible on his sleeve. Behind him, a procession of soldiers in historical uniforms marches in formation, evoking the Legion's ninety-year history of remembrance. A vibrantly coloured red enamel poppy is prominently featured in the lower field, serving as the central symbol of the Royal British Legion. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the upper border, while the founding and anniversary dates 1921 · ROYAL BRITISH LEGION · 2011 curve along the lower exergue. |
