| Reverse description | Five Clangers — the distinctive pink, mouse-like alien characters from the classic BBC children's television series — stand upon the cratered surface of their home planet in the lower field, rendered in detailed relief. A large crescent moon occupies the left background, a spherical celestial body appears at upper centre, and six-pointed stars are scattered across the field. The series title CLANGERS is inscribed in the programme's characteristic rounded script lettering, arcing across the upper portion of the coin field, with the denomination 50p positioned to the right at mid-field. |

| Additional information |
The Clangers debuted on the BBC in 1969, created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin through their small production company Smallfilms. The show was famously made on a shoestring — the alien landscapes were filmed in a shed in Kent, and the Clangers' dialogue was performed on a swanee whistle. A 2015 revival aired on CBeebies, introducing the characters to a second generation with Michael Palin narrating.
Guernsey has no particular historical connection to the franchise; the island issues commemoratives under its Crown Dependency status, licensing themes well outside its own cultural orbit.
