| Reverse description | A uniformed nurse wearing a traditional white veil and bearing a Red Cross emblem tenderly attends to the head of a wounded soldier in the foreground, her gaze directed downward in an expression of compassionate care. Behind the central figures, the bombed-out ruins of a brick building and a desolate wartime landscape are rendered in high relief, evoking the devastation of the First World War. The denomination legend FIVE POUNDS appears in bold raised lettering along the lower right of the field, following the curve of the coin's border. |
