| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a highly detailed naturalistic representation of a herring (Clupea harengus) shown in left-facing profile, occupying the central field with its distinctive elongated body, dorsal fin, and forked tail finely rendered in relief. Behind and above the fish, the silhouette of the Isle of Man's coastline or a wave form provides contextual framing. The legend ISLE OF MAN arcs along the upper periphery, while HALF PENNY is inscribed in two lines along the lower arc, engraved by Barry Stanton. The polished proof fields provide strong contrast to the finely frosted device. |
