| Reverse description | The central field displays the denomination and date in three lines — 50 / CENTS / 1870 — in bold serif lettering, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Surrounding this central legend is an ornate stylized wreath composed of interlaced Celtic-inspired foliate and geometric motifs, with decorative nodes at regular intervals, creating a highly distinctive and elaborate frame. The entire design is contained within a beaded border, consistent with the artistic conventions of the Royal Mint's pattern coinage of this period. |
