| Reverse description | A stylised dove in flight is depicted at centre, rendered with vibrant pad-printed colour, carrying a red poppy in its beak — an emblem of remembrance for the fallen of the First World War. Superimposed across the field is the word PEACE written in multiple languages, referencing the armistice of 1918. The commemorative inscription 1918 P Peace END of WORLD WAR I appears within the design, marking the centenary of the end of the conflict. The overall composition balances symbolic imagery with typographic layering in a modern artistic style. |

| Additional information |
The "pad printed" designation here is the notable detail. Perth Mint developed this process to apply color to gold coins without the use of enamel inlays or secondary metal plating, bonding ink directly to the coin surface under controlled pressure. Whether that treatment holds up to long-term archival standards remains a legitimate question among collectors, and encapsulation is strongly advised. The Peace Dove series itself launched as a direct commercial response to demand for low-premium fractional gold with recognizable Australian provenance.
