| Beschrijving keerzijde | A dramatic bas-relief composition by sculptor Paul Day depicting two British infantrymen of the First World War in steel helmets, rendered in selective gold plating, gripping their bayonet-fixed rifles in the foreground as they prepare to go over the top. Behind them, a densely populated background in silver relief shows waves of soldiers advancing through the trenches, with birds in flight visible in the upper field. The commemorative legend WE WILL REMEMBER THEM arcs across the upper border, flanked by the dates 1914 and 1918 at lower left and lower right respectively. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of Gibraltar's sprawling World War I commemorative series, this issue draws on a century of retrospective documentation rather than any contemporary monetary purpose — Gibraltar struck no circulating coinage during the war itself. The "Hell on Earth" theme places it within a subset of the series focused on the Western Front's most harrowing phases, likely referencing the conditions at Passchendaele or the Somme, where Allied casualties ran into the hundreds of thousands within weeks.
Tombac with selective plating is a cost-driven format common to this entire Gibraltar WWI run, produced by Pobjoy Mint under long-standing licensing arrangements.
