| Obverse description | The obverse features the fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, depicting a mature right-facing crowned bust of the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem, with a drop earring visible. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, showcasing the exceptional quality of the piedfort striking. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2020 ·' distributed around the periphery of the equilateral curve heptagonal flan. The engraver's initials 'J.C' appear beneath the truncation of the bust. |

| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II·D·G·REG·F·D·50 PENCE·2020· J.C (Translation: Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith) |
| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Thomas Docherty, presents an elegant calligraphic inscription filling the field of the heptagonal flan, rendered in a flowing italic script. The principal legend reads 'Peace, prosperity and friendship with all nations' in multiple lines across the centre of the coin, a phrase evoking the aspirations of the United Kingdom upon its departure from the European Union. Below the main inscription, in smaller roman lettering, appears the commemorative date '31 January 2020', marking the precise date of Brexit. The polished proof fields provide a striking contrast to the raised lettering, emphasising the typographic artistry of the design. |
