| Beschrijving keerzijde | A colourised depiction of a Southern Rockhopper Penguin (Eudyptes chrysocome) occupies the central field, rendered in naturalistic polychrome colour with distinctive black and white plumage, vivid red feet, and yellow superciliary plumes fanning outward prominently above the head. The bird is shown in a dynamic forward-leaning posture against a dark recessed field. The legend ROCKHOPPER PENGUIN arcs along the upper periphery and FIFTY PENCE along the lower, both inscribed in bold raised Latin lettering. The colourisation is applied within the heptagonal boundary of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Southern Rockhopper penguin (*Eudyptes chrysocome*) breeding population on the Falklands has declined by an estimated 90% since the 1930s, a collapse attributed variously to commercial fishing pressure, oceanographic shifts, and predation. The Falkland Islands Government has issued wildlife-themed coinage intermittently since the 1970s, in part as a revenue mechanism given the islands' limited tax base — collector sales to overseas buyers matter here in ways they don't for larger economies.
KM#197.2 distinguishes this piece from the uncolored variant; the applied color is a post-mint process, which purists note affects surface integrity over decades of storage.
