| Reverse description | The Coat of Arms of Jamaica occupies the central field, depicting a shield quartered with five golden pineapples borne on a red and black cross, supported on the dexter by a male Taino figure and on the sinister by a female Taino figure, each in traditional dress. Above the shield, a crocodile rests upon a royal helmet and mantling. A scroll below the shield bears the national motto OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE. The legends JAMAICA above, HALF PENNY below, and the commemorative dates 1869 and 1969 flanking the arms record the centenary of Jamaican coinage, all within a beaded border. |
