| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail to the hair and facial features. The legend 'KING CHARLES III' arcs along the upper left periphery, while 'ISLE OF MAN' continues along the upper right, both inscriptions following the heptagonal coin contour. The date '2024' appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by two raised dots. No crown or diadem adorns the portrait, consistent with the standard definitive effigy adopted for Isle of Man coinage under the reign of Charles III. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic engraved illustration of an early open-wheel motor racing car, numbered '6' on its bonnet and side panel, driven by two goggled figures in period racing attire, evoking the atmosphere of Edwardian-era motorsport. The vehicle is shown in three-quarter perspective travelling at speed across a rural landscape, with a low horizon and suggestion of stone walls and spectators in the background field. The denomination 'FIFTY PENCE' arcs along the upper portion of the design following the heptagonal border. The commemorative date '1904' is prominently inscribed in the lower exergue, referencing the year of the first motor race held on the Isle of Man. The overall composition is executed in a detailed illustrative engraving style by Garry Walton. |
