| Reverse description | A central memorial cross dominates the field, its crossbar bearing the inscription LEST WE FORGET on a scroll-like banner. The lower portion of the design features a polychrome application of red Flanders poppies rendered in vivid color enamel, rising from a golden landscape. At the base, the Rising Sun badge of the Australian Military Forces is depicted in high relief, accompanied by a scroll inscribed AUSTRALIAN MILITARY FORCES. The black mirror-finish background creates a striking contrast with the gold and colored elements. The circumferential legend 90th ANNIVERSARY OF THE END OF WWI 1918-2008 frames the design, with the Perth Mint privy mark P visible to the right of the cross. |
