| Reverse description | A stylised child's drawing of a young athlete performing a pole vault, rendered in a deliberately naive illustrative style celebrating grassroots sporting enthusiasm ahead of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The official London 2012 logo appears prominently in the upper field above the central vaulting figure. The denomination 50 PENCE is inscribed in the lower field, with the inscription 'london 2012' completing the design. The reverse was engraved by Florence Jackson. |
