| Reverse description | A dynamic composite design commemorating the Battle of Cannae (216 BC), combining high-relief silver sculptural elements with a central color-printed panel depicting the chaos of the battlefield. To the right stands a fully armed Carthaginian commander in high relief, wearing a crested helmet adorned with an animal-head crest, segmented armor, and a draped paludamentum, thrusting a sword toward the center. In the lower center, a war elephant with a mounted rider bearing a lance is rendered in high relief against the dark field. The color-printed panel in the center evokes the mass melee of the battle with figures and muted earth tones. The legend THE BATTLE OF CANNAE arches across the upper field above the date 216 BC, and the Perth Mint privy mark P appears at the lower left. |
