| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, as designed by Jody Clark, depicted in right-facing bust wearing the George IV State Diadem and draped robes. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'ELIZABETH II D G REG F D 50 PENCE 2017', with the designer's initials 'J.C.' incuse below the truncation. The inscription is in Latin, denoting Her Majesty's titles as Queen and Defender of the Faith. |

| Reverse description | A colourised central design, adapted from Beatrix Potter's original watercolour illustration, depicts Peter Rabbit in three-quarter view striding energetically to the right, dressed in his iconic blue jacket with brass buttons. The figure is rendered in selective colour application over a highly polished proof field, with fine detail visible in the fur, clothing, and facial features. The curved legend 'THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT' arcs around the periphery following the heptagonal coin shape, with a trademark symbol 'TM' appearing at the lower centre of the field. The composition faithfully captures the whimsical character style of Potter's classic 1902 illustrated children's book. |
