F-35 Lightning II Official Collectors Coin

The reverse of this UK coin was designed by brothers Richard and Neil Talbot and shows a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II in flight with the words 'RAF 1918-2018' above and 'LIGHTNING II' below. Speaking about their design, the brothers said:

'The designs and engineering of all of these aircraft are so impressive, it was important to us to be true to the nature of these aircraft - they are extraordinary designs in their own right.'
