| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Adam Ball, presents a detailed portrait of Australian cricket legend and broadcaster Richie Benaud facing three-quarters left, depicted in later life wearing a suit and tie. A broadcast microphone is rendered in the lower left field, evoking his celebrated career as a television commentator, while a stylised cricket batsman in full stroke appears in the upper left background. Diagonal lines divide the textured field into contrasting segments, with a crowd scene depicted in low relief along the lower border. The legend RICHIE BENAUD arcs to the left of the portrait with the dates 1930 - 2015 below, and the denomination numeral 50 appears to the right. |
