| Reverse description | Two commando soldiers in combat dress are depicted in dynamic crouching poses, sabotaging heavy water production equipment at the Vemork plant, rendered in detailed relief against a polished field. Behind the figures, the distinctive industrial apparatus of the electrolysis plant — comprising large cylindrical tanks and pipe networks — fills the upper portion of the field. A color-applied red poppy with black centre appears prominently in the lower central field, serving as a memorial emblem. The upper legend reads OPERATION GUNNERSIDE arcing around the rim, while the denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower border in raised Latin lettering. |
