| Reverse description | The reverse design features a stylised television transmission mast at centre, emitting concentric circular radio waves that fill the field in a bold, graphic treatment. Flanking the mast are chronological milestones drawn from the life and career of John Logie Baird, arranged as an annular timeline with key dates and achievements. The years '1888' and '1946', marking Baird's birth and death respectively, are prominently displayed. The legends chronicle pivotal events including his first demonstration of analogue television in 1926, the first transatlantic transmission in 1928, and his early engineering studies from 1906. The inscription 'JOHN LOGIE BAIRD TELEVISION PIONEER' arcs prominently around the design. |
