| Reverse description | Finely detailed bust of a puffin (Fratercula arctica) facing left and occupying the central field, with the bird's characteristic large, laterally compressed beak and textured plumage rendered in bold relief. The legend LUNDY arcs across the upper periphery, while HALF PUFFIN curves along the lower portion, both separated by the beaded border running around the coin's inner edge. The overall design is simple yet emblematic, referencing the seabird colonies for which Lundy Island is renowned. |
