| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by John Bergdahl, presents a detailed military cartographic representation of the Gallipoli Peninsula set within a raised inner circle, depicting the coastline, troop positions, landing sites, and place names including ANZAC, AEGEAN SEA, Suvla Bay, Chunuk Bair, and Sedd El Bahr, with dashed lines indicating naval approach routes. In the lower portion, a finely engraved panoramic scene shows landing craft and soldiers wading ashore against the rugged coastal cliffs, evoking the April 1915 amphibious landings. The engraver's initials JB appear at lower left of the inner circle. The surrounding border legend reads 1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918 with the dates flanking the upper arc, and GALLIPOLI inscribed prominently across the lower exergue in bold raised lettering. |
