| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a solitary World War I soldier kneeling in prayer before a cross grave marker, with a poppy wreath at the left and additional crosses visible in the background, evoking the sorrow and sacrifice of the Great War. The scene is rendered in finely detailed relief, capturing a poignant commemorative composition. The denomination HALF SOVEREIGN appears along the upper portion of the field, while the inspirational inscription TO LIVE IN HEARTS WE LEAVE BEHIND IS NOT TO DIE curves around the lower portion of the design, taken from the poem 'Hallowed Ground' by Thomas Campbell. |
