| Obverse description | The obverse features the fifth definitive crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, as sculpted by Jody Clark. The Queen is depicted wearing the George IV State Diadem, pearl drop earrings, and a pearl necklace, with fine detail rendered in the hair and regalia. The engraver's initials 'JC' appear beneath the truncation of the bust. The peripheral legend reads 'QUEEN ELIZABETH II' to the upper left and 'ISLE OF MAN' to the upper right, separated by raised pellets, with the date '2018' prominently displayed at the base of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a striking colored commemorative design marking the centenary of the First World War's end. To the left of the field stands a relief depiction of a uniformed World War I British soldier in three-quarter view, rendered against a darkened background. The right side and upper border of the coin are adorned with vivid red-colored Flanders poppies with black centres, a universally recognised symbol of remembrance. The war years '1914' and '1918' are prominently inscribed in large numerals to the upper centre, beneath which the commemorative legend 'THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE' and the armistice date reference 'XI.XI.XI' are inscribed in the field. The denomination '50 PENCE' appears within a raised circular cartouche at the base of the design. |
