| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by David Cornell, features a stylised composition of two hands positioned centrally against a background of radiating lines, symbolising care and the founding principles of the National Health Service. The design commemorates the fiftieth anniversary of the NHS, established in 1948. The denomination 50 PENCE appears in the lower field beneath the central motif, while the commemorative legend arcs across the upper portion of the reverse. The engraver's initials DC appear discreetly within the design, and the repeated NHS device forms part of the surrounding decorative lettering. |
