| Reverse description | A detailed recreation of a soldier's ground-level perspective during the Battle of the Somme in 1916, depicting the harrowing landscape of the Western Front with troops advancing across a war-torn battlefield. Selective 24-karat gold plating highlights a winged allegorical figure of Victory — adapted from the Victory Medal awarded in 1919 to Allied forces who served in the First World War — hovering above the scene. The bilingual legend identifying the battle appears along the periphery in both English and French, along with the commemorative dual dates. |
