| Reverse description | Left-facing bust of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, rendered in civilian dress with suit and tie, occupying the central field in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. The circumferential legend OPENING OF MOUNT PLEASANT AIRPORT · MAY 1985 curves around the upper and right periphery of the coin, commemorating the official opening of the strategic military and civilian airport on the Falkland Islands. The design, engraved by Robert Elderton, is executed with fine portrait detail characteristic of Royal Mint proof coinage of the period. |
