| Reverse description | A boldly rendered crow or raven with wings fully spread stands upon an olive branch in the lower central field, set against a partially furled national flag bearing stars, evoking themes of peace and remembrance at the close of the First World War. The Perth Mint 'P' mintmark is visible in the field to the right of the flag. The upper legend reads 'END OF WORLD WAR I' in raised lettering arcing around the top of the coin, while the lower legend reads '100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY 1918 - 2018', commemorating the centenary of the Armistice. The design employs strong contrasts between mirror-polished and frosted surfaces to create dramatic relief. |
