| Reverse description | Central depiction of a Falkland Islands wolf (Dusicyon australis), also known as the warrah, standing in profile facing right with head raised, rendered in finely detailed high relief upon a naturalistic ground of rocks and sparse vegetation. The denomination numeral 50 appears prominently in the upper field above the animal. The legend FALKLAND ISLANDS curves along the lower periphery of the heptagonal flan, flanking the design on both sides. The warrah, now extinct, is an iconic symbol of the archipelago's unique natural heritage. |

| Additional information |
The Falkland Islands have issued their own coinage since 1974, a decade after the territory's currency was formally separated from the pound sterling parity system. This particular issue marks the transition to Charles III's effigy following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022 — a changeover that required every Commonwealth and dependent territory operating its own coinage to commission new obverse dies, a logistical undertaking affecting dozens of mints simultaneously.
