| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into quarters depicting a rising sun above a sailing ship on a sea, flanked by a blue marlin as dexter supporter and a flamingo as sinister supporter. Above the shield rises an elaborate helm and mantling surmounted by a conch shell, with a hand grasping a bundle of three arrows as crest. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto FORWARD UPWARD ONWARD TOGETHER. The circular legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs along the upper periphery, with the date of issue appearing in the lower field, all enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A blue marlin leaps dynamically from stylized ocean waves that fill the lower portion of the field, rendered with fine detail in the fish's elongated bill, dorsal fin, and scaled body. The marlin is depicted in a bold, arching posture rising toward the upper left, conveying vigorous movement. The denomination legend FIFTY CENTS is inscribed in two lines to the right of center in the field. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, with the open field providing a clean, uncluttered backdrop that emphasizes the naturalistic central motif. |
