| Beschrijving keerzijde | A richly detailed high-relief depiction of a female munitions worker, shown in left-facing profile seated at a factory lathe, wearing a headscarf and work dress. Large industrial machinery including drive wheels and gears fills the background, evoking the wartime production environment of 1914–1918. Rows of shell casings are visible in the lower foreground, emphasizing the subject's role in the war effort. The incuse inscription arcs along the lower portion of the field, flanked by the dates marking the duration of the First World War. The engraver's initials DL appear in the lower left field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of the Royal Mint's centenary commemorations marking the Representation of the People Act 1918, which granted the first partial women's suffrage in the United Kingdom — restricted to women over 30 who met property qualifications. Full equal suffrage wouldn't follow for another decade.
The "Women in Factories" theme specifically honours the roughly 800,000 women who entered munitions and industrial work during the First World War, many replacing men conscripted under the Military Service Act 1916. Their wartime economic contribution was central to the political argument that made the 1918 Act possible.
