Description:
features a central cross bearing the words " lest we forget" in a field of colored poppies, ‚one of the most powerful symbols of remembrance for those lost in war, within a circle cutting below by a 'Rising Sun' badge (features the Imperial Crown and a banner with the words "AUSTRALIAN COMMONWEALTH MILITARY FORCES". 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 cooperation between the navy (the swords) and the army (the bayonets). In the right field, The Perth Mint's "P" mint mark appears discreetly and the designer's initials (SB) at the opposite below.
