Description of obverse and reverse
Coin’s obverse features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II effigy sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley. 

Coin’s reverse features the legendary Australian Light Horsemen mounted and charging boldly across the coins field. This design, representing ‘Daring’, was inspired by the stained-glass windows in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial. These beautiful windows, designed by Napier Waller, represent the fifteen quintessential qualities displayed by Australians in war.
A brief annotation
The legendary Australian Light Horse displayed dash and daring aplenty in their mounted offensives against the Ottomans – in particular the charge at Beersheba and the battle of Megiddo.
