| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic action scene commemorating the Battle of El Alamein, showing three Allied infantrymen in full combat gear advancing across desert terrain; the central figure, rendered in high relief, lunges forward with a bayonet-fixed rifle, flanked by a second soldier to the left and a silhouetted enemy figure retreating to the right. Clouds of battle smoke fill the background field. The commemorative legend '50th ANNIVERSARY OF EL ALAMEIN' arcs along the upper periphery, the denomination '100 DOLLARS' appears in the lower exergue, and the commemorative dates '1942-1992' arc along the lower right, all in raised Latin lettering. |
