| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of the RMS Titanic moored at dockside on the day of her departure, shown in three-quarter perspective with four prominent funnels emitting billowing steam and smoke. A dockside structure with a canopied roof is visible in the right foreground, with calm harbour waters in the middle ground. The numeral 40 appears to the upper left of the ship, denoting the 40th anniversary of the wreck's discovery. The legend FIFTY PENCE arcs along the upper periphery, and the ship's name TITANIC is boldly inscribed in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has issued commemorative fifty pence pieces with some regularity, and this Titanic release joins a crowded field of British and Channel Island coins marking the disaster's anniversaries and themes. The Titanic departed Southampton on April 10, 1912, calling at Cherbourg and Queenstown before her final crossing — a routing that has no particular connection to Guernsey, whose inclusion here is a function of commemorative licensing rather than geography.
