| Reverse description | A Saint Helena Wirebird (Charadrius sanctaehelenae), also known as the Rainpiper, stands in a naturalistic coastal habitat, rendered in fine detail with stippled feathering and long slender legs set among marsh grasses. Behind the bird, stylised ocean waves and dramatic rocky coastal cliffs establish the island setting, while a large flowering plant with broad leaves frames the composition from above. The WWF panda logo acronym appears to the left in the field, affirming the conservation theme. The denomination 50 PENCE is inscribed in the upper right field, the date 1998 to the lower right, and the legend CONSERVING NATURE curves along the lower periphery in raised Latin capitals. |
