| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a Douglas C-47 Dakota aircraft in flight over the city of Berlin, with the Brandenburg Gate prominent below, surrounded by children waving to the aircrew and awaiting relief supplies during the Berlin Airlift of 1948. Flanking the central scene are representations of the Berlin Airlift Monument (Luftbrückendenkmal), adorned with a frieze of diminutive Dakota silhouettes commemorating the humanitarian operation. At centre, a quotation attributed to President John F. Kennedy — 'Ich bin ein Berliner' — delivered in tribute to the Airlift during his 1963 Berlin address is inscribed in the field. The date '1948', the aircraft designation 'C47', and the inscription '70 ANS DU PONT AÉRIEN' ('70 Years of the Berlin Airlift') appear alongside the issue year '2018'. |
