| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic aerial combat scene commemorating the Battle of Britain of 1940, designed by Thomas Docherty. In the foreground, a large Supermarine Spitfire is depicted in a dynamic banking manoeuvre, rendered with considerable technical detail including its distinctive elliptical wings and propeller. In the middle ground, additional RAF fighter aircraft are shown engaged in aerial combat, while a formation of enemy bombers is visible in the upper portion of the field against a stylised clouded sky. The commemorative inscription BATTLE OF BRITAIN 1940 appears in a bold, decorative script to the upper right of the composition. |
