| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse design by Mary Milner-Dickens depicts a standing suffragette in Edwardian dress, chained to railings in a gesture of civil defiance, her right hand raised aloft holding a banner. To the right of the central figure appears a ballot paper marked with a cross, symbolising the democratic franchise sought by the movement. The denomination FIFTY PENCE appears to the left of the composition, while commemorative dates marking the centenary of the Women's Social and Political Union are inscribed to the right and below. The legend GIVE WOMEN THE VOTE arcs across the upper field, directly referencing the suffragette cause. The design is executed in fine proof relief against a mirror-polished field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece commemorates the centenary of the Suffragette movement's most militant phase, when the Women's Social and Political Union — founded by Emmeline Pankhurst in 1903 — shifted from petition to direct action. Window-smashings, arson, and hunger strikes defined the campaign, making it quietly remarkable that the Royal Mint chose to mark the anniversary on a coin bearing the head of a female monarch whose own position owed nothing to the franchise the Suffragettes died for.
The wide date range in the reference catalogs reflects restrikes produced across multiple years for collector sets rather than a single commemorative release.
