| Reverse description | A stylised fuchsia blossom, with characteristic pendant sepals and protruding stamens finely rendered, is displayed at the centre of an ornately garnished and scrolled heraldic shield. The shield is framed by elaborate foliate and scroll mantling extending to either side, with decorative acanthus-style ornaments at the top and base. The denomination 1/2 appears in the lower portion of the shield, engraved by Leslie Lindsay. The overall composition reflects the Isle of Man's annual flower series tradition for this denomination. |
