| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene of devotion and compassion, showing a nurse and a medical orderly tending to a wounded soldier beside a field hospital tent, evoking the Anzac spirit of selfless service. The central figural composition is framed by angular geometric shapes positioned to the left, right, and top outside the inner circle, lending a modern, stylised character to the design. Three poppies on a curved stem are arranged as a sprig surrounding the scene, serving as a symbol of remembrance. The denomination 50 and the thematic inscription DEVOTED appear in the field, identifying the coin's face value and Anzac Spirit series subject. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Royal Australian Mint's broader Anzac Spirit series, which ran across several years in the lead-up to and through the centenary commemorations of the First World War. "Devoted" references the roles of nurses, chaplains, and support personnel — the unglamorous machinery of a war effort that Australian public memory has been slower to canonise than the frontline infantryman of Gallipoli or the Western Front.
