| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dramatic aerial combat scene commemorating the Battle of Britain, featuring a Hawker Hurricane in the foreground banking in pursuit, a Supermarine Spitfire in the middle ground, and a stricken Luftwaffe aircraft trailing smoke as it falls from the sky. A second enemy aircraft is visible in the upper background. In the lower portion of the field, a vibrant red enamel poppy — applied in full colour — serves as a memorial symbol, positioned above the denomination legend FIVE POUNDS incused along the lower arc. The arc legend BATTLE OF BRITAIN curves along the upper periphery. The design is engraved by David Cornell. |
