| Reverse description | A finely engraved dove in full flight occupies the central field, its wings spread wide and its body rendered in high relief. The bird carries a red poppy rendered in vivid pad-printed color at its breast, symbolizing remembrance and peace. The background field is inscribed with the word PEACE repeated in multiple scripts and orientations, evoking the international character of the armistice. The date 1918 arcs along the upper border, and the legend END of WORLD WAR I is inscribed in the lower exergue. The Perth Mint privy mark P appears at the lower left. |

| Additional information |
Australia's involvement in WWI ended not at the Armistice on 11 November 1918 but legally concluded with the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, a distinction the Commonwealth government was deliberate about — Australia signed the treaty independently, one of the first times it acted as a sovereign nation in international law rather than as a British dominion. The "pad printed" designation here refers to a polychrome color application process Perth has used selectively since the 2010s, transferring ink onto the coin's surface under controlled pressure rather than enamel inlay.
