Reverse description The reverse, designed by John Bergdahl, presents a detailed military topographical map of the Gallipoli Peninsula depicting the ANZAC landings and secondary landing zones on the Aegean Sea coast, with dashed arrows indicating the assault routes and named positions including Chunuk Bair, Nek, and Kum Kale. The lower register of the design transitions to a panoramic shoreline scene showing landing craft and soldiers wading ashore amid the rugged coastal terrain, evoking the April 1915 amphibious operations. The engraver's initials 'JB' appear at lower left of the map field. The circular legend '1914 THE FIRST WORLD WAR 1918' frames the upper portion of the design, while the word 'GALLIPOLI' is prominently inscribed in bold raised lettering across the lower border.
