| Obverse description | Fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the crowned and draped bust of the Queen facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, with the date 2019 and the engraver's initials IRB appearing in the field. The portrait is rendered in fine relief consistent with Rank-Broadley's mature numismatic style. |

| Reverse description | Central depiction of the folkloric figure of Dick Whittington rendered as a pantomime-style traveller, shown full-length in a striding pose, carrying a bindle over his shoulder and accompanied by his cat at his feet. The figure is framed within a circular design element flanked by two rampant cats and a border of six-pointed stars, evoking a theatrical and heraldic composition. The legend FIFTY PENCE arcs across the upper field, with DICK above and WHITTINGTON below, all in bold capital lettering conforming to the heptagonal flan. |
