| Reverse description | A low-flying Second World War Allied fighter aircraft, consistent in profile with a Hawker Typhoon or similar single-engine monoplane, is depicted in dynamic three-quarter perspective banking over a turbulent sea, evoking the aerial operations supporting the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944. A shoreline with landing craft is faintly suggested in the left background, conveying the scale of Operation Overlord. The upper legend D-DAY - 70TH ANNIVERSARY arcs along the inner rim, while the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border. The composition fills the field with atmospheric depth, rendered in relief against a polished ground. |
