| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed relief scene commemorating the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) Boomerang, Australia's first domestically designed and produced fighter aircraft of World War II. A large, finely rendered CAC Boomerang in three-quarter perspective dominates the foreground, with a second aircraft visible in the mid-field against a stylised sky of engraved clouds. The lower field features a coastal landscape with ships and tropical vegetation, evoking the Pacific theatre of operations. The date 1942 appears in a rectangular panel at centre-lower field, flanked by stars, with the inscription AUSTRALIA'S 1ST FIGHTER AIRCRAFT along the lower periphery. The title CAC BOOMERANG is boldly inscribed in the upper field. |
