Coins-Australia and Oceania

Reverse
The central part features a relief depiction of three Australian Army soldiers facing left. The soldiers are positioned in a trench, holding rifles with fixed bayonets. Along the edge of the coin, on the left and bottom, are stylized representations of rocks and sand. Overlaid on them is a three-line inscription: "20 RATS OF TOBRUK", which translates from English as "20 Rats of Tobruk" - a metaphorical allegory signifying "20 cents".

In the central part, within a circle, is the right-facing profile of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, wearing a diadem. Below the neck truncation are the letters "IRB", denoting the initials of the artist Ian Rank-Broadley. Along the rim, on the left, is the English text: "ELIZABETH II", on the right - "AUSTRALIA 2016", which translates to "Elizabeth II, Australia 2016". The digits "2016" indicate the year of issue.
