The Spitfire first emerged in 1936. Flown extensively by the RAF and other Allied countries during WWII, its streamlined fuselage and distinctive elliptical wing shape fast became an iconic sight. With this in mind, the reverse motif on this sterling silver Proof is a stroke of genius. By adding fine detail to the background rather than the aircraft, the Proof's designers allow the aircraft's famous silhouette to shine through. The simple elegance of the aircraft is underpinned by a flawless, Royal Mint Proof strike.
