Reverse description The central field displays four incuse-rimmed circular medallions, each reproducing an obverse effigy from a different George III coinage: upper left shows an early laureate bust with the legend GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA; upper right a wigged bust; lower left a later laureate bust inscribed GEORGIVS III D·G·BRITANNIAR REX F·D· with date 1818; and lower right an aged laureate bust inscribed GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA with date 1817. A royal crown is depicted at the centre between the four medallions, flanked by heraldic devices including a harp, fleur-de-lis, and lions. The legend TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS arcs around the upper periphery, and the denomination 50 CROWNS is prominently inscribed in the lower exergue.
