| Reverse description | The central design depicts three joyful children of diverse ethnicities in a warm mutual embrace, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, symbolising international unity and peace. Below the figural group, the bold numeral 50 incorporates the official United Nations emblem — a world map encircled by olive branches — into the zero of the numeral, commemorating the organisation's golden jubilee. The legend NATIONS UNITED FOR PEACE arcs along the upper periphery, while the dates 1945 and 1995 and the inscription U.N. 50th ANNIVERSARY are distributed along the lower arc of the border. |

Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, this coin was part of a coordinated wave of commemoratives struck by dozens of member states in 1995 — Jamaica among them. The UN's founding in San Francisco that October 1945 had particular resonance for small island nations; Jamaica, independent only since 1962, joined the organization that same year and has relied heavily on UN frameworks for trade dispute arbitration and development financing.
The .925 silver specification and 28.28g weight place it squarely in the Crown-sized commemorative format then standard across Commonwealth mints, with blanks almost certainly supplied through the Royal Mint's network rather than struck domestically.
