| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, as modelled by Ian Rank-Broadley. The portrait is finely detailed with curled hair and a draped neckline, consistent with the fourth definitive portrait used on Isle of Man coinage from 1998. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation. The peripheral legend reads 'ELIZABETH II ISLE OF MAN', flanked on either side by the three-legged triskelion symbol of the Isle of Man, with the date '1998' at the base. |

| Reverse description | Two motorcycle racers are depicted in dynamic, close-quarters competition, rendered in bold relief against a plain field, evoking the high-speed drama of the Isle of Man TT Races. The foreground rider, helmeted and leaning forward on a racing motorcycle, dominates the composition, with a second competitor visible in the left background. Flanking the central motif are two laurel branches arranged symmetrically along the coin's heptagonal border. The numeral '50' appears in the lower portion of the field, serving as the denomination indicator, with a small designer's mark above it. |
