| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, bare-headed and wearing a diadem, rendered in high relief after the fourth definitive portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley. The legend 'ISLE OF MAN' arcs along the upper left periphery and 'ELIZABETH II' along the upper right, with the date '1999' positioned at the base of the heptagonal flan. Small decorative triskelion ornaments flank the date. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear in small relief below the Queen's truncation. |

| Reverse description | A detailed Victorian Christmas scene occupies the central field, depicting a bearded gentleman seated in an armchair to the right, holding an open book, while three figures — including children and a woman — decorate a full Christmas tree to his left. The composition evokes the Dickensian tradition of the Victorian family Christmas. The word 'CHRISTMAS' is inscribed in raised lettering along the upper arc of the heptagonal field, and the denomination '50' appears in large numerals at the base. The Pobjoy Mint mark is visible in the lower right field near the scene. |
