| Reverse description | A full-length, naturalistically rendered adult King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) stands upright in the center of the reverse field, depicted in vibrant color print against a black background. The bird displays characteristic plumage with a white front, blue-grey back, and distinctive yellow-orange auricular patches on the neck. The penguin stands on a rocky substrate rendered in earthy tones, with one flipper slightly extended. The legend 'KING PENGUIN' arcs across the upper field and 'FIFTY PENCE' is inscribed along the lower margin, both in gilt lettering. |
