| 正面铭文 | ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·50 PENCE·2017· J.C (Translation: Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith) |
| 背面描述 | A bold, facing bust-length portrait of Tom Kitten, the character from Beatrix Potter's 1907 illustrated tale, occupies the central field. The kitten is depicted wearing an open jacket with visible buttons, rendered with fine sculptural detail in the naturalistic style associated with Potter's original illustrations, as interpreted by engraver Emma Noble. The character's wide, expressive eyes and fluffy fur are prominently modelled in relief. The legend 'TOM KITTEN' arcs around the design, split to either side of the figure, with the engraver's initials 'en' inscribed in the lower field. |

The Tom Kitten 50p was the fourth release in the Royal Mint's ongoing Beatrix Potter series, launched to mark the 150th anniversary of Potter's birth in 1866. The series caught the secondary market badly off guard — the Peter Rabbit piece from the same year sold out almost immediately and began trading at multiples of face value within weeks, a frenzy that made the subsequent releases far more anticipated than a circulating commemorative would ordinarily be.
Jody Clark's fifth portrait of Elizabeth II, introduced in 2015, appears here — his first coinage portrait since Raphael Maklouf's 1985 design had itself replaced Arnold Machin's iconic effigy.
