| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross, one of the principal items of the British Coronation Regalia, shown in close-up with its ornate head prominently rendered in the upper portion of the field; an arched, latticed decorative background radiates behind the sceptre head, evoking the grandeur of the regalia. A horizontal band divides the design, below which the inscription THE SOVEREIGN'S SCEPTRE appears in two lines flanked by fleurs-de-lis ornaments, with the denomination 50p centred beneath. The engraving, by Quentin Peacock, captures the intricate scrollwork and heraldic detailing of this historic ceremonial object. |
