| Reverse description | A coloured BAE Systems Hawk T1 jet aircraft of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows aerobatic display team is depicted in dynamic flight across the centre of the field, rendered in vivid red with RAF roundel markings and the inscription 'ROYAL AIR FORCE' on the fuselage. Behind the aircraft, Edinburgh Castle is engraved in fine relief, its rocky outcrop and battlements clearly detailed in the lower portion of the field. A large circular motif occupies the background, evoking the number 60 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Red Arrows. The denomination 'FIFTY PENCE' is inscribed along the upper edge, with the RAF Red Arrows logo and legend 'ROYAL AIR FORCE RED ARROWS' appearing in the upper right field. |

| Additional information |
The Red Arrows, officially 9 Squadron of the Royal Air Force, have performed at the Edinburgh Tattoo intermittently since the 1960s, making the pairing a reasonable iconographic choice for a commemorative. Jersey's prolific commemorative silver program issues pieces like this primarily for the collector market — circulation was never the intent, and mintages are typically controlled and low, though Jersey Crown Dependencies issues of this type rarely publish firm mintage caps in advance of sell-through.
