| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts four Australian soldiers manning a Vickers machine gun in a fortified trench position at Hill 104 on the Western Front near Villers-Bretonneux, France, commemorating the centenary of the pivotal engagement of 24–25 April 1918. The soldiers are portrayed in period-accurate attire and equipment, rendered in bold relief against a detailed battlefield background. The inscriptions VILLERS-BRETONNEUX and HILL 104 appear as the primary legends, with the commemorative date 1918 and the denomination 50 also present in the field. The initials EL, denoting the designer, are incorporated into the design. The composition honours the significant contribution of Australian Imperial Force troops during World War I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Villers-Bretonneux was recaptured from German forces on 25 April 1918 — Anzac Day — by the 13th and 15th Brigades of the Australian Imperial Force, a coincidence of date that has anchored the town's place in Australian commemorative culture ever since. The centenary in 2018 drew considerable official attention from both governments, and this circulation issue was part of the broader Australian program marking 100 years since the Western Front campaigns.
The town's primary school, rebuilt with donations from Victorian schoolchildren after the war, still bears the phrase "N'oublions jamais l'Australie" — never forget Australia.
