| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid full-color photographic rendering of a hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) in dorsal view, depicted swimming horizontally across the darkened field, its distinctively patterned carapace rendered in rich tones of amber, burgundy, and violet with detailed scute markings. The species name 'HAWKSBILL TURTLE' arcs along the upper periphery in raised sans-serif lettering, while the denomination 'FIFTY PENCE' is inscribed in a straight line along the lower field. The engraver's initials 'DA' for David Alderson appear discreetly in the lower right field. |
