| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic colored scene commemorating the charge at Beersheba on 31 October 1917, showing a mounted trooper of the Australian 4th Light Horse Brigade astride a sturdy Waler horse charging at full gallop across the desert landscape amid bursting Ottoman artillery shells. The imagery is rendered with vibrant pad-printed color, capturing the speed and audacity of what is considered one of the last successful cavalry charges in history. The inscription 1917 - SPEED and SURPRISE appears within the design, accompanied by the Perth Mint's P mintmark. |
