| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 1/2 CENT is displayed prominently in the centre of the field in large numerals and lettering, with the date below. The circular legend BRITISH CARIBBEAN TERRITORIES arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while EASTERN GROUP appears at the base, separated by small raised dots. The overall design is bold and unadorned, relying on clean typography within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The British Caribbean Territories Currency Board was established in 1950 to provide a unified coinage for a loose grouping of colonies — Barbados, British Guiana, British Honduras, the Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Windward Islands — that had never before shared a single currency. The half-cent was the smallest denomination struck for the series and saw limited practical use almost immediately; rising prices in the postwar Caribbean economy made fractional cent values near-obsolete within years of issue.
All pieces were struck at the Royal Mint. The series was short-lived: the West Indies Federation, formed in 1958, eventually prompted the board's reorganization and the currency's replacement.
