| Reverse description | The reverse presents a lively Christmas scene evoking the Isle of Man's celebrated motorcycling heritage, depicting a goggled rider astride a vintage motorcycle with sidecar, in which a passenger is seated holding Christmas gifts. The composition is set against a wintry Manx landscape featuring a traditional thatched cottage with smoke rising from the chimney, rolling hills, a running cat in the foreground, and chickens to the left. The legend CHRISTMAS arcs across the upper field, accompanied by a sprig of holly, while the denomination 50 appears prominently in the lower field. |
