| Reverse description | The copper-nickel centre depicts a detailed outline map of Antarctica with a dotted line tracing the route of the 1957–1958 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition from the Weddell Sea through the Shackleton base, across the South Pole, to the Scott base on the Ross Sea side; a tracked Sno-Cat vehicle inscribed 'TRANS ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION' is shown in relief at the upper portion of the map. The geographic labels 'WEDDELL SEA', 'Shackleton', 'South Pole', 'Scott', and 'ROSS SEA' appear within the field. The nickel brass outer ring bears the arc legends 'FIRST LAND CROSSING OF ANTARCTICA' above and 'TWO POUNDS' below, with the commemorative dates '1958 - 2023' at the base of the inner disc. |
