| Reverse description | A detailed colorized depiction of HMAS Sydney (I) at sea during combat, rendered in high relief against a colored background. The foreground shows the cruiser's bow cutting through stylized waves, with gun crews at the ready, while a stricken enemy vessel, the SMS Emden, is visible listing in the background amid billowing smoke. An ornamental sunburst motif with a central cartouche bearing the date 1914 appears at the base of the central design. The arc legend CENTENARY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR runs along the upper rim, and HMAS SYDNEY is inscribed along the lower rim, all in raised Latin characters; the surrounding border features a colorized anchor-chain motif evoking naval heritage. |
