| Obverse description | Right-facing fourth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the sovereign wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The legend ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D· arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 2011 positioned at the base, and the engraver's initials IRB incused below the truncation of the bust. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, characteristic of the proof finish. |

| Reverse description | Dynamic depiction of two table tennis players in action, shown from opposing ends of a full table, their rackets crossing dramatically in the centre of the field with a ball visible to the right.

The official London 2012 Paralympic Games logo appears in the upper portion of the field. The denomination 50 PENCE is inscribed along the lower arc, and the legend LONDON 2012 PARALYMPIC GAMES arcs around the upper periphery. |
