| Obverse description | Arnold Machin's second definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a right-facing diademed and draped bust, wearing a delicate tiara and her hair elegantly arranged. The legend ISLE OF MAN arcs along the left periphery and ELIZABETH II along the right, with the date 1982 positioned at the base of the coin. The Pobjoy Mint privy mark (PM) appears just below the truncation of the bust. The deeply mirrored proof fields enhance the sculptural relief of the portrait against the heptagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Leslie Lindsay, features a dynamic low-angle composition of a motorcycle racer leaning sharply into a corner, bearing race number 10 on the fairing, with rugged rocky terrain rendered in the background. The central motif is framed on both sides by laurel branches arcing from the base to the upper field, evoking victory and sporting prestige. The abbreviation TT appears prominently at the top of the field, and the denomination numeral 50 is inscribed at the base within the laurel wreath. The engraver's initials are visible in the lower right field of the design. |
