| 裏面の説明 | The reverse presents an overlapping depiction of both faces of the Victoria Cross medal in fine detail. To the left, the obverse of the cross pattée is shown suspended from its characteristic suspender bar adorned with a laurel sprig, bearing the central medallion with a crowned lion standing upon the Royal Crown and the circular motto FOR VALOUR. To the right, the reverse of the cross is shown with its circular central boss inscribed with the date of institution 29. JAN 1856. The abbreviation VC appears prominently in the lower right field, with the denomination FIFTY PENCE inscribed along the lower exergue. |

Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross, first awarded in 1857 from metal salvaged — according to long-standing tradition — from Russian cannon captured at Sevastopol during the Crimean War. That provenance has been questioned by historians, but the Royal Mint has never officially abandoned it. The commemorative series ran across multiple years rather than a single issue, accounting for the date range on circulating examples.
