Reverse description Two silhouetted First World War soldiers in full combat kit are depicted in dynamic marching posture within an inner circle, set against a background bearing a partially visible commemorative inscription referencing the sacrifices of 1914. The legend 'LEST WE FORGET' arcs prominently along the upper border of the coin, while the denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed in bold lettering along the lower border outside the inner circle. The overall composition combines a sombre commemorative tone with strong graphic contrast between the frosted soldier motifs and the mirrored field.
