| Reverse description | The reverse features a large full-color depiction of a Royal Air Force Supermarine Spitfire in its distinctive wartime camouflage livery of dark green and earth tones, bearing the squadron code PR·J and RAF roundel on the fuselage, with a red, white, and blue fin flash visible at the tail. A smaller uncolored Spitfire in flight is rendered in relief in the upper field above the main aircraft. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the upper arc, while the bold raised legend BATTLE OF BRITAIN dominates the lower field, with the commemorative date 1940 beneath. The designer's initials DBF appear in the lower right field. The colored application vividly contrasts with the mirrored coin field, enhancing the commemorative character of the issue. |
