| Reverse description | A richly coloured scene depicting Peter Pan, dressed in his iconic green leaf costume, peering toward a warmly lit multi-paned window at night, accompanied by Tinker Bell hovering at his shoulder, both rendered in selective colour ink against a deep blue nocturnal field. To the left, the window panes are shown in contrasting warm amber and cool starlit blue tones, suggesting an interior and exterior world. Scattered silver stars and leaf motifs populate the surrounding field. The quotation 'He came to the window to listen to the stories' arcs across the upper right in stylised lettering, with the denomination '50' inscribed at the lower left. The design was created by David Wyatt and engraved by Matt Tindall. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued Peter Pan coinage since the 1980s, exploiting a longstanding copyright quirk: J.M. Barrie bequeathed the rights to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in 1929, but those rights expired under UK law in 1987, fifty years after his death. The Isle of Man, operating under its own legislative framework, was never bound by the same extension Parliament granted GOSH in 1988 — leaving the Manx Treasury free to commercialise the character independently.
