| Beschrijving keerzijde | The left half of the reverse carries an intaglio vignette of the East India Company arms, showing two rampant lions as supporters flanking a quartered shield with two flag-bearing staffs, set above a ribbon bearing the motto; a fine guilloche border surrounds the panel. To the right, the colonial seal of Saint Helena is rendered within an ornate cartouche, enclosing a vignette of a sailing ship at sea before a rocky outcrop. The denomination '50p' appears in large numerals at centre between the two armorial vignettes, all printed in violet. |

St. Helena's 1979 decimal notes replaced the pre-decimal pound series following the island's adoption of decimalisation in 1976 — three years after mainland Britain made the same switch. The delay was administrative rather than economic; the island's tiny circulation volumes and dependency on sterling shipments from the UK meant there was little urgency. Thomas De La Rue handled the print run, as they had for virtually every St. Helena issue since the nineteenth century.
The series is notable for its small print runs. With a resident population under 6,000, demand was limited, and notes frequently left circulation quickly as souvenirs — which makes genuinely used examples harder to find than uncirculated ones.
