| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of Clupea harengus, the Atlantic Herring, rendered in naturalistic style and superimposed over a topographical outline map of the Isle of Man. The fish is shown in profile, its scales and fin structure carefully delineated, conveying both scientific accuracy and artistic elegance. The inscription ISLE OF MAN appears along the upper periphery, with HALF PENNY along the lower, framing the central design. The composition reflects the island's strong historical association with herring fishing as a cornerstone of its maritime economy. |
