| Reverse description | The central device depicts a faithful reproduction of the historic Sommer Islands (Hogge Money) sixpence, itself shown in high relief within a beaded inner circle: a wild boar walking to the left occupies the centre field, with the Roman numeral VI above and the legend SOMMER ISLANDS surrounding within the beaded border. The outer annular legend reads BERMUDA MONETARY AUTHORITY arcing across the top, with FIFTY DOLLARS 1989 arcing along the bottom, all separated by small four-pointed star stops. The contrast between the deeply recessed outer border and the raised inner coin design creates a striking cameo effect characteristic of proof coinage. |
