| Obverse description | The fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley faces right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The legend ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 2014 arcs around the upper periphery, with the designer's initials IRB truncated below the portrait. The field is plain, presenting the bust in a formal, unadorned style consistent with standard Commonwealth coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a color-printed design depicting soldiers from opposing forces of the First World War paying tribute at the Villers-Bretonneux memorial in Northern France, set against a stylized map of Europe rendered in the field. A red poppy, symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers, is prominently depicted within the design. The legend THE WESTERN FRONT arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 50 CENTS appearing below, and the names of key Western Front nations — France, England, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy — inscribed within the design. The pad-printed color technique adds vivid detail to the commemorative scene. |
