| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a colourised pad-printed design commemorating the centenary of the Royal Australian Air Force, centred on the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber depicted in flight in the upper left field against a sky with clouds. The right portion of the field displays a detailed overhead technical plan view of the Lancaster's fuselage and wings, with the RAAF roundel in red, white, blue, and yellow rendered in colour at the lower centre. The upper right corner bears a coloured rendering of the Union Flag. A central banner carries the inscriptions 'AVRO', 'LANCASTER', and '1940-1945', with the denomination numeral '50' prominently displayed in the lower left field, and the legend 'ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE CENTENARY' arcing along the lower border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The RAAF acquired its Lancasters relatively late in the war — the first Australian-crewed aircraft arrived in Britain under Bomber Command's No. 460 Squadron, which flew more Lancaster sorties than any other RAAF unit and suffered catastrophic losses doing it. By the time the type was retired from Australian service in 1963, the Lancaster had outlasted nearly every other heavy bomber of its generation in operational use.
The pad-printing process used here applies colour directly onto the coin's surface rather than through enamel inlay, a technique the RAM adopted to reduce production costs on commemorative issues while maintaining fine chromatic detail.
