| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse commemorates the Empire Air Training Scheme, depicting a uniformed airman in the left foreground consulting instruments or controls, with a biplane aircraft rendered in the right midground. A stylised map of the British Isles and a roundel motif appear in the upper field, evoking the multinational scope of the wartime training programme. The denomination 50 is prominently displayed at the top of the field, with the legend EMPIRE AIR TRAINING SCHEME arcing across the centre of the design. At the base of the reverse, two coloured service ribbon bars are applied in enamel, featuring the colours of relevant World War II campaign and service medals, providing a distinctive polychrome accent to the otherwise milled copper-nickel surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Empire Air Training Scheme, established under a December 1939 agreement between Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, trained over 131,000 aircrew by the time it wound down in 1945. Australia contributed disproportionately — more than 27,000 Australians passed through EATS programs, many training on home soil before being posted to operational theaters in Europe and the Pacific. The scheme was Churchill's own preferred priority in the early war years, believing trained aircrew more decisive than ground troops.
This piece is part of the broader "Australians at War" series issued across 2015, each coin in the run commemorating a distinct service or campaign.
