| Reverse description | A dramatic, high-relief scene commemorating the Japanese midget submarine attack on Sydney Harbour in 1942. In the foreground, a partially submerged Japanese Type A midget submarine is depicted in fine detail, its conning tower and hull emerging from realistically rendered harbour waters. Behind it, the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge spans the middle ground, with a warship visible to the left and a biplane aircraft in the upper right field. The date '1942' appears within a circular cartouche at the lower centre of the design. The curved legend 'SUBMARINE ATTACK ON SYDNEY HARBOUR' arcs along the upper border. |
