| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II D·G·REG·F·D· (Translation: Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God Queen Defender of the Faith) |
| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by sculptor David Wynne, depicts nine human hands arranged in a continuous circular chain, clasping one another's wrists in a gesture symbolising unity and cooperation among the member nations of the European Economic Community. The interlocking hands fill the field dynamically, leaving a central void in which the denomination '50 PENCE' and the date '1973' are inscribed in a clean, upright serif typeface. This allegorical composition commemorates the United Kingdom's accession to the EEC on 1 January 1973. |
