| Reverse description | A dramatic commemorative composition by Matthew Bonaccorsi evoking the Battle of Jutland (31 May 1916), the largest naval engagement of the First World War. In the upper field, bold raised lettering reads WHAT PASSING BELLS FOR THESE WHO DIE?, an opening line from Wilfred Owen's poem 'Anthem for Doomed Youth'. The central and lower field depicts a warship underway amid billowing smoke at upper left, while a second vessel is shown capsizing and sinking in the foreground, surrounded by turbulent seas. Dramatic clouds of battle smoke fill the background, lending an atmospheric and elegiac quality to the design. |
