| Beschrijving voorzijde | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled and engraved by Jody Clark, occupies the centre of the obverse as a right-facing crowned bust, depicting the Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a drop earring. The portrait is rendered with fine sculptural detail, capturing the Queen's mature likeness against a deeply mirrored proof field. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 PENCE, distributed around the periphery, with the engraver's initials J.C. incuse below the truncation. |

The 2016 date places this piece in the first year of Jody Clark's fifth-portrait effigy of Elizabeth II, the first portrait of the Queen produced by an artist under 40 and selected through an internal Royal Mint process rather than open competition. Clark was a relatively junior engraver at the time — his selection over more established sculptors caused some friction within numismatic circles. The fifth portrait notably raised the Queen's age representation significantly from the Ian Rank-Broadley fourth portrait it replaced, which had itself been controversial on introduction in 1998.
