| Reverse description | A detailed relief depiction of the German battleship Bismarck listing and ablaze, with billowing clouds of smoke rising from her superstructure and water geysers erupting alongside the hull, evoking the final moments of the vessel's sinking on 27 May 1941. The ship is shown in three-quarter profile occupying the central field, with waves rendered beneath the hull. A color-applied red enamel poppy is positioned prominently below the ship in the lower field, serving as a symbol of remembrance. The legend SINKING OF THE BISMARCK curves along the upper arc, and FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower arc, both in raised Latin characters against a proof-finished field. |
