| Reverse description | Three mounted soldiers of the Australian Light Horse in full military uniform charge across the desert terrain, each bearing a bayonet-tipped rifle, commemorating the historic charge at Beersheba on 31 October 1917. A stylised representation of a mosque with a minaret appears above a horizontal ground line in the background, evoking the landscape of the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. The legend 'BATTLE OF BEERSHEBA' arcs across the upper field, with the date '2017', denomination '5 DOLLARS', weight and fineness indicators '1OZ .999 Ag', and the designer's initials 'EJ.L' completing the inscription. The composition conveys the dynamism and historical significance of the last successful cavalry charge in military history. |
