| Reverse description | The reverse, designed and engraved by John Bergdahl, depicts a stirring scene commemorating the deployment of the British Expeditionary Force in 1914, showing uniformed soldiers ascending a gangplank aboard a troopship, waving farewell to well-wishers on the quayside below, with the silhouette of a warship visible in the background. The composition is set within a recessed inner field, framed by a raised outer border bearing the circumferential legend · 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918 · flanking the design at upper left and upper right respectively. The abbreviation B.E.F. appears prominently in the lower exergue, separated by raised dots, with the engraver's initials JB visible in the lower left of the inner field. The scene is rendered in fine relief with intricate detail in the figures' uniforms, equipment, and facial expressions, characteristic of the Royal Mint's proof striking quality. |
