The sovereign's portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the diadem and collar. The peripheral legend reads 'ELIZABETH II D G REG F D 50 PENCE 2019', with the designer's initials 'J.C' appearing below the truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a scene inspired by Raymond Briggs' beloved illustrated story 'The Snowman', depicting the smiling Snowman — wearing his characteristic hat and scarf — standing centrally in the field, with a young boy in winter clothing gazing upward and reaching toward him with one hand, holding a small object in the other. A snowy winter landscape with rolling hills and a snow-laden tree fills the background. The composition captures the warmth and wonder of the original artwork with finely modelled relief throughout, and no inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
