| Reverse description | A juxtaposed double portrait of Queen Elizabeth II celebrating her Platinum Jubilee, presenting the first effigy used on coinage at the start of her reign alongside the final contemporary portrait, illustrating seventy years of royal coinage imagery. The two effigies face one another in a compositional arrangement that contrasts the youthful early portrait with the mature later likeness. The commemorative legend THE QUEEN'S PLATINUM JUBILEE 2022 arcs around the periphery, with the denomination 50 and the issuer's initials DA appearing in the field. |

| Additional information |
The Platinum Jubilee marked Elizabeth II's 70th year on the throne — a milestone no British monarch had previously reached. The Falkland Islands, as a British Overseas Territory, has issued commemorative coinage tied to the Crown for decades, and the jubilee cycle reliably produces these diamond-finish pieces, which are struck with additional polishing stages to achieve a frosted relief against a burnished field without the full cost of a proof striking.
Elizabeth II died in September 2022, just months after this coin entered circulation, making it an inadvertent farewell issue.
