| Reverse description | A detailed low-angle depiction of an Avro Lancaster heavy bomber in flight, rendered in high relief against a colorized camouflage background applied by selective pad printing. The aircraft fuselage displays identifying markings, and the spinning propellers are suggested by concentric engraved rings. The bold inscription "GIVE US THE TOOLS AND WE WILL FINISH THE JOB" — a celebrated wartime phrase attributed to Winston Churchill — is prominently displayed in the upper field. The denomination "50 PENCE" appears in the lower exergue. |
