| Reverse description | Central foreground portrait of Victoria Cross recipient Major Herbert Le Patourel in military uniform, facing slightly left, with the Victoria Cross medal depicted prominently below his bust. To the left, a stylised battle scene shows a soldier in action against a jagged explosive burst, evoking the engagement at Tebourba in 1942. A vertical banner inscribed FOR VALOUR divides the upper field between the portrait and the battle vignette. The surrounding legend reads HERBERT LE PATOUREL to the upper left, TEBOURBA 1942 to the upper right, and FIVE POUNDS along the lower margin. |
