| Obverse description | A vintage biplane depicted in three-quarter view flies to the right across the central field, rendered in fine relief with detailed strut and undercarriage work. To the left, a cluster of tall agricultural grain sheaves or reeds rises vertically, evoking the reclaimed polder landscape of the Netherlands. The inscription 'BELOW / SEA-LEVEL / FLY-IN' appears in raised block lettering in the upper right portion of the field, referencing the celebrated airshow held at Lelystad Airport, which lies below sea level. |
