| Reverse description | Central design depicts an Australian soldier crouching within a trench, operating a machine gun in combat stance, evoking the 1941 Greek Campaign. Behind him stands a stylised ancient Greek warrior bearing a sword and shield, symbolising the historical and cultural bond between Australia and Greece. The denomination 50 and the campaign date 1941 appear in the field alongside the country name GREECE. The composition conveys a layered, commemorative narrative linking the two nations across time. |
