| Obverse description | Mature effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The surrounding legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, with the date 2022 at lower right and the engraver's initials IRB incuse below the truncation. The portrait is rendered in fine detail against a plain field, consistent with the fourth definitive portrait used on British and Crown Dependency coinage from 1998. |

| Reverse description | The upper half of the reverse features the Commonwealth flag rendered in selective gold plating, depicting the globe surrounded by radiating spears with a central sunburst motif, conveying the unity of the member nations. The lower half presents a dark contrasting field bearing the multi-line inscription HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH in bold lettering, flanked by fleurs-de-lis ornaments, with the denomination 50p below flanked by additional fleur-de-lis devices. The two-tone treatment, combining silver-plated and gold-plated areas, creates a striking visual division between the emblematic and inscriptional zones. |
