| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by artist Tom Phillips, features typeset text reproducing entries from Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755), presenting the definitions of the denomination's component words — 'fifty' and 'pence' — in period-appropriate typography and phonetic notation. The text is arranged across the heptagonal field in the manner of a printed dictionary page, with the initials TP identifying the designer. The design commemorates the 250th anniversary of the publication of Johnson's landmark lexicographical work. |
