| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic naval scene commemorating the Battle of the Coral Sea during the Second World War Pacific campaign. In the foreground, a warship is shown underway at sea, while the Southern Cross constellation and the flag of the United States are rendered prominently in the field above, symbolising the Allied partnership between Australia and America. The design evokes the historic significance of the 1942 naval engagement, regarded as the first major Allied strategic check of Japanese expansion. Surrounding inscriptions identify the battle and the broader Pacific theatre of war. |
