The reverse shows the the iconic 'Rising Sun' Australian Commonwealth badge, the background is textured like leather (The badge depicts the Imperial Crown and a banner with the words AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH." and "AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH". The 'sun rays' or rising sun are in fact not that at all, originally they were to depict a semi circle of thrusting swords and bayonets around the crown which in 1902 was to depict the co-operation between the navy (the swords) and the army (the bayonets) surrounded by inscription "LEST WE FORGET" around above and "WWI 1918-2008" around below. In the right field, The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark appears.
