| Reverse description | A detailed frontal depiction of Father Christmas (Santa Claus) dominates the field, his broad bearded face framed by a fur-trimmed hat and festive decorative elements including bells and holly sprigs to either side. The inscription CHRISTMAS arcs across the upper field above the figure, while the numeral 50, representing the denomination, appears prominently in the lower exergue. The design is rendered in high relief, characteristic of the proof finish, with a deeply mirrored field accentuating the frosted device. |
