| Reverse description | The reverse is divided vertically into two distinct panels. The left panel, rendered with applied colour, depicts two heraldic beasts from the Royal Arms — a rampant unicorn above a passant guardian lion — set against a textured background evoking chainmail or diaper work. The right panel, in polished proof finish against a dark field, bears the anthem text in stacked multi-line lettering: 'Send Him Victorious, Happy and Glorious', accompanied by four fleur-de-lis ornaments interspersed between the lines. The denomination 50p appears at the base of the right panel in sans-serif numerals. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has long operated outside the constraints of UK legal tender law, giving its treasury unusual freedom to issue commemorative coinage that the Royal Mint cannot or will not produce. This piece belongs to a series marking the national anthem, a subject that gained renewed public attention following the death of Elizabeth II in September 2022 — the first time in over 70 years that "God Save the King" replaced "God Save the Queen" in official use.
Colorized silver proofs of this type are struck by Pobjoy Mint, the Isle of Man's longtime contract minter, on behalf of the treasury.
