| Reverse description | The reverse features a typographic design in which Winston Churchill's famous 'Finest Hour' speech quotation is rendered in varying relief lettering sizes across the field, with key words such as 'BRITISH', 'COMMONWEALTH', 'THOUSAND', 'SAY, THIS', and 'FINEST HOUR' prominently emphasized. The circular legend 'MEMORIES OF WARTIME BRITAIN' surrounds the border, while the lower portion bears the Imperial War Museum logo, attribution to Winston Churchill dated 18th June 1940, and the year '2008' at the base. A hallmark reading 'LMO 925' is also visible in the lower field. |
