| Reverse description | A finely struck bust of Horrie the Dog — a celebrated Australian military mascot — is depicted in left-facing profile, the head raised alertly, rendered in relief against a vibrant pad-printed coloured background. The scene evokes a wartime desert setting, with warm ochre and terracotta tones filling the lower field and military bell tents visible in the upper background beneath a blue sky with white clouds. The design pays tribute to Horrie as one of Australia's 'Unlikely Heroes', combining struck metallic relief with vivid colour printing to create a striking commemorative composition. No inscriptions or legends appear on the reverse. |
