| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, designed by Clive Duncan and issued to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross, depicts a soldier in uniform carrying a wounded comrade across the field. Behind the figures rises a bold silhouette of the Victoria Cross medal, dominating the upper field. The denomination FIFTY PENCE appears in the lower exergual area, accompanied by the engraver's initials CD. The design evokes the courage and self-sacrifice that the Victoria Cross, instituted in 1856, was created to honour. |

Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross in 2006, this fifty pence was the first in what became a paired release — one depicting a naval scene, one a soldier. The VC itself was instituted by Royal Warrant in January 1856, backdated to cover acts of valor during the Crimean War, and the metal used to cast the original crosses was taken from Russian cannon captured at Sevastopol. That tradition has continued: crosses awarded to this day are still cast from the same dwindling stock of Crimean bronze, now held by the 15th Regiment Royal Logistic Corps.
