Decorative snowflake motifs are scattered across the upper field. The denomination legend 'FIFTY PENCE' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey retains the right to issue its own coinage under the Bailiwick's constitutional arrangement with the Crown, separate from both the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man — meaning this piece, despite bearing the effigy of the British monarch, is legal tender only within Guernsey itself. The island has used this autonomy aggressively in recent decades to produce themed commemorative fifties aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
