| Reverse description | Central field features a full-color photographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II smiling, wearing a vivid pink hat with a decorative brooch and a pearl necklace, set within a circular vignette. Surrounding the colored portrait is a dark annular band bearing the commemorative inscription DIAMOND JUBILEE arcing across the top, with the regnal dates 1952 and 2012 flanking the sides, and FIFTY PENCE inscribed along the lower periphery. Raised dots serve as decorative separators between the date numerals and the denomination legend. The gold-plated reeded rim frames the design with a bright contrast against the darkened border. |

| Additional information |
Jersey issued a wave of commemorative 50 pence pieces for the Diamond Jubilee, and this gold-plated steel example sits in the lower tier of that release program — a circulation-friendly souvenir rather than a bullion or proof offering. The plating on these is notoriously thin, and examples that actually passed through hands show wear through to the steel substrate at the high points faster than any conventional cupronickel piece would.
