| Obverse lettering | ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY IRB · FIFTY PENCE · 2019 · IRB |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a central scene commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing of 1969, featuring an astronaut in a full spacesuit descending onto the lunar surface, with the Lunar Module and the planted American flag visible in the right background. Concentric arc lines in the left field evoke a radar or communication signal motif, suggesting the technological achievement of the mission. The lunar surface is rendered with textured detail, conveying the stark, cratered terrain. Along the left rim runs the legend ONE SMALL STEP, and along the lower arc the dates 1969 - 2019, all struck in the same green-anodized titanium as the obverse. The composition is bold and dynamic, filling the field to dramatic effect. |
