Beschrijving keerzijde Central depiction of the Jersey coat of arms — a shield bearing three golden leopards passant guardant on a red field — rendered in sharp relief at the centre of the heptagonal flan. This design replicates the original 1969 Jersey 50 New Pence reverse, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the heptagonal 50 pence coin. The legend 'BAILIWICK OF JERSEY' curves along the upper periphery, while 'FIFTY NEW PENCE' and the commemorative date '1969' arc along the lower portion of the field.

Aanvullende informatie

The 50 pence denomination itself has a genuinely odd origin: when the British government abolished the ten-shilling note in 1969, it needed a high-value coin that could replace paper without the bulk of a crown. The resulting heptagonal design was a deliberate engineering choice — the curved equilateral heptagon maintains a constant diameter, allowing vending machines to accept it regardless of orientation. Jersey, as a Crown Dependency, adopted the denomination on the same timeline as the mainland but issues its own distinct coinage under separate authority from the Royal Mint.

This proof marks fifty years from that 1969 introduction.
