| Reverse description | The reverse features a decorative annular band of twenty-five overlapping Tudor crowns arranged in a continuous circle, commemorating the 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession. Within this crown-ring, a central starburst motif radiates from the middle of the field, overlaid with the commemorative inscription 'SILVER JUBILEE' and the denomination '50 CENTS' in raised Latin lettering. The overall design, by Stuart Devlin, combines bold geometric patterning with heraldic symbolism appropriate to the jubilee occasion. |
