| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic First World War battle scene commemorating the introduction of the tank. A large British Mark IV-style tank dominates the upper and central field, advancing diagonally across a war-torn landscape rendered in detailed relief. In the foreground to the right, a helmeted infantryman in full kit is shown in three-quarter bust, with a second soldier visible behind him in the lower centre. A wavy decorative border frames the inner field along the coin's circumference. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed in bold letters along the lower exergue. |
