| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene of Australian soldiers sheltering within a trench on the Western Front during the Battle of Fromelles, fought in France in July 1916. Several uniformed figures are shown seated and crouching within the trench, conveying the hardship and camaraderie of frontline service. The composition is struck in low relief and evokes the sombre commemorative tone appropriate to the centenary of this engagement. The denomination 50 and the commemorative dates 1916 appear within the design, accompanied by the inscription FROMELLES and the engraver's initials EL. |
