| Reverse description | A dramatic high-relief depiction of an Antarctic Blue Whale in its oceanic habitat, rendered diagonally across the full field of the heptagonal flan.

Stylised wave patterns and light rays fill the background field, conveying depth and movement. The denomination legend 'FIFTY PENCE' is inscribed in raised capitals along the lower arc of the coin.
