| Obverse description | Uncrowned left-facing effigy of King Charles III fills the central field, rendered in a contemporary portrait style with naturalistic hair detail. The circumferential legend reads 'CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY' around the upper arc. The date '· 2026 ·' appears in the lower segment, flanked by pellet stops. The design is set within the characteristic equilateral curve heptagonal format standard to British 50 pence coinage. |

| Reverse description | The right two-thirds of the reverse field feature a richly coloured Celtic harp decorated with interlaced knotwork ornament in gold and white, surmounted by a crowned lion head finial, with a serpent entwined around its base — all rendered in selective full colour print against a dark background. Green shamrock sprigs flank the harp at upper right and lower right, evoking traditional Irish iconography associated with St. Patrick. The left third of the field bears a fine engine-turned guilloche ground, against which the inscriptions 'FIFTY PENCE', 'ST. PATRICK', and 'OF IRELAND' are arranged vertically in incuse lettering. |
