| Reverse description | A detailed frontal architectural elevation of Windsor Castle dominates the upper field, depicting the Henry VIII Gateway flanked by the crenellated towers and battlements of the Lower Ward, set against a stippled diaper background pattern. Below the castle, the inscription WINDSOR CASTLE appears in bold Roman lettering, flanked by fleurs-de-lis ornaments. The denomination 50p is centred at the base, likewise accompanied by flanking fleurs-de-lis, completing a design by Quentin Peacock that balances heraldic decoration with architectural precision. |

| Additional information |
Jersey issues commemorative 50 pence pieces with some regularity, and this Royal Residences series entry follows the pattern established under Elizabeth II of using the seven-sided format for themed collector releases. Windsor Castle's association with the Crown of Jersey is indirect — the island is a Crown Dependency, meaning its allegiance runs to the monarch personally rather than to the British parliament or government, a constitutional distinction that dates to the Norman Conquest and has never been dissolved.
