| Reverse description | Full-color printed design commemorating the D-Day airborne operations of 6 June 1944. The central field depicts a low-angle view of a Royal Air Force aircraft bearing the distinctive red, white, and blue roundel, rendered in color against a silvered background. To the lower right, a German Luftwaffe aircraft marked with Balkenkreuz insignia is also depicted, evoking the aerial combat of the Normandy campaign. Bold stencil-style lettering across the left field reads D-DAY / JUNE 6 / BY AIR, with the year 1944 inscribed below in the lower center field. |

| Additional information |
Pitcairn's coinage has long been a collector-driven enterprise rather than a circulating currency — the island's population has hovered around 40 to 50 people for decades, making any domestic monetary economy essentially fictional. Issues are produced under licensing arrangements and distributed entirely through philatelic and numismatic channels, never touching the pockets of anyone actually resident on Pitcairn.
The KM#132.1 designation suggests a paired variety, likely distinguished from KM#132.2 by the presence or absence of color application.
