| Reverse description | A facing portrait bust of Diana, Princess of Wales, is rendered in fine relief at the centre of the field, depicting her with her characteristic short, swept hairstyle and drop earrings, wearing a low-cut neckline. The commemorative legend IN MEMORIAM and DIANA - THE PEOPLE'S PRINCESS curves around the upper periphery in an elegant script typeface. The dates 1961 - 1997 arc along the lower left, flanking the portrait. Two stylised rose motifs appear at the lower left and right of the portrait, symbolising the Princess. The denomination $50 is inscribed in the lower field between the roses. |
