The circumferential legend reads HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II in the upper arc, with the territorial initials TDC at the lower right. The date 2009 appears in the lower exergue. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, and the design is enclosed by a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The central device depicts the classic St George and the Dragon composition, showing a mounted, armoured St George on horseback thrusting a lance downward into a writhing dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves. The knight's cloak billows dramatically behind him, and the horse rears in dynamic posture. A small oval cartouche bearing a crown device appears in the upper right field. The denomination legend HALF CROWN arcs along the left side of the field in bold raised lettering, and the design is framed by a beaded inner border. |
