| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, graphic design centred on a series of concentric circles emanating from a central television transmission aerial tower, evoking the propagation of broadcast signals and serving as a visual metaphor for Baird's pioneering work. Arranged along each successive concentric ring are key milestones from Baird's life and career, inscribed radially around the field: 1888 John Logie Baird born, 1906 Studies engineering, 1926 Demonstrates analogue television, 1928 First transatlantic transmission, and 1946 John Logie Baird dies. The arc legend JOHN LOGIE BAIRD TELEVISION PIONEER curves along the upper border, while the dates 1888 and 1946 appear prominently at the lower field, and the engravers' initials AR DO are discretely placed to the lower right. |
