Beschrijving voorzijde Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, depicting the monarch with a crowned and draped bust wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley. The regal portrait is rendered in high relief against a flat field, with fine detail in the crown and hair. The circular legend surrounding the effigy reads ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D followed by the date, with the engraver's initials IRB truncated at the shoulder.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse, designed by artist Tom Phillips, commemorates the 250th anniversary of Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755) by reproducing dictionary entries directly on the coin's field in period-appropriate typography. Across multiple lines, the denomination is defined: '·50·' appears at the top, followed by 'FI'FTY. adj. s. [ƑiƑtiʒ, Saxon.' in mixed roman and Old English letterforms, then 'PENCE. n. s.' and 'plural of penny' in bold display type. At the base, the inscription 'JOHNSON'S DICTIONARY 1755' is engraved in smaller lettering, with the engraver's initials TP appearing centrally below. The overall design faithfully replicates the typographic conventions of 18th-century English lexicography.
