| Reverse description | Central device depicting a domed Christmas pudding decorated with a sprig of holly and berries at its summit, rendered in fine relief. Snowflake ornaments are scattered across the field to the left, right, and lower portions of the design, evoking a wintry seasonal atmosphere. A decorative ribbon or sauce element appears to cascade down the right side of the pudding. The denomination legend FIFTY PENCE arcs along the upper periphery of the field, interspersed with small snowflake motifs between the letters. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has long issued themed 50 pence pieces aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation, and this Christmas Pudding issue follows that pattern. The States of Guernsey retains the right to issue its own coinage independently of the Royal Mint, a constitutional arrangement rooted in the Bailiwick's status as a Crown dependency — not part of the United Kingdom, not subject to Westminster legislation without consent.
Mintage figures for Guernsey commemoratives of this type are typically kept low and the pieces rarely see a checkout till.
