| Reverse description | The reverse design by David Wynne features a ring of nine pairs of clasped hands arranged in a circle, symbolising the nine founding member states of the European Economic Community and representing mutual trust, assistance, and friendship. The denomination 50 PENCE appears in the lower field, while the date 1973 — marking the year of the United Kingdom's accession to the EEC — is inscribed at the top within the circle of hands.
