The aircraft is set within a circular inner border of beaded dots against a dark field. The arc legend ROYAL AIR FORCE and the dates 1939-1945 appear prominently across the upper portion of the field, while the aircraft's designation WELLINGTON is inscribed in bold gilt lettering across the lower portion. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, this coin commemorates the Vickers Wellington, the twin-engine bomber that formed the backbone of RAF Bomber Command's early war offensive. In 1940, Wellingtons flew the first bombing raid on Berlin — a direct response to the Luftwaffe's accidental bombing of London — a decision that shifted German strategic focus from RAF airfields to British cities, a tactical error that arguably saved Fighter Command from collapse.
