| Reverse description | A Royal Air Force Red Arrows Hawk jet aircraft is depicted in dynamic flight, dominating the upper portion of the reverse field, with 'ROYAL AIR FORCE' inscribed on the fuselage. Below the aircraft, a detailed engraving of the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff is shown in perspective view, with the word 'CARDIFF' inscribed along its facade. The legend 'FIFTY PENCE' arcs across the upper border, with 'RED ARROWS' rendered in a stylised logotype beneath it. The composition captures the aerobatic display context above the iconic Welsh venue. |

| Additional information |
The Red Arrows have flown over Cardiff's Millennium Stadium at numerous major events, but this piece belongs to a broader commemorative program Jersey has run issuing 50 pence coins tied to British ceremonial and military themes — a reliable revenue stream for the Bailiwick rather than a coinage necessity. Jersey's issues of this type circulate only nominally; most are bought by collectors on issue and never reach a till.
