| Obverse description | Right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in a contemporary portrait style by engraver Glyn Davies. The king's mature likeness features naturalistic hair and is depicted with a plain truncation at the shoulder. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF JERSEY arcing from lower left to upper right, with the date 2023 positioned centrally at the base, flanked by two raised dots. The design is struck on a heptagonal flan with a polished field providing contrast to the raised portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid selective colour-printed design depicting Father Christmas standing astride a snow-covered rooftop chimney, dressed in his traditional red and white suit and carrying a large sack overflowing with toys and gifts. Six ornate raised snowflake devices are symmetrically arranged in the field to either side of the central figure, their metallic relief contrasting with the colourised background of a wintry nocturnal roofscape rendered in blues and whites. The denomination legend FIFTY PENCE arcs along the upper periphery in incuse Latin lettering. The overall composition evokes a classic festive Christmas scene and was engraved by Quentin Peacock. |
