| Reverse description | The reverse features a richly detailed composition depicting pixies amid an abundant arrangement of flowering plants and foliage, rendered in fine relief. Two decorative ribbon banners frame the design, the upper banner bearing the inscription PIXIES and the lower banner inscribed FIFTY PENCE. Delicate blossoms, stems, and leaves fill the field in an ornate, whimsical style evoking traditional Jersey folklore. The overall composition is symmetrical and covers the full available field of the heptagonal flan. |

| Additional information |
Jersey has a documented folkloric tradition of pixies — locally called "pouques" — tied to specific megalithic sites on the island, particularly the passage graves at Pouquelaye de Faldouet. The States of Jersey have leaned into this mythology increasingly in their commemorative programs, a pattern that accelerated after the mint relationship with Pobjoy ended and production moved to other striking partners with broader creative appetite.
Copper-nickel circulation-spec 50 pence pieces of this type rarely see actual pocket use in Jersey, given the island's small population and tourist-heavy economy.
