| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of a Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) facing right occupies the majority of the field, its eight suckered tentacles dramatically spread across a stylised underwater seascape with coral and kelp rendered in relief. The legend COMMON OCTOPUS arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 50c is prominently displayed in the lower field. The engraver's initials VLC appear at lower left near the denomination. The contrasting mirror fields and frosted relief elements are characteristic of a proof strike. |
