| Obverse description | Jody Clark's fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted as a right-facing crowned and draped bust wearing a pearl necklace and drop earrings, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The circumferential legend reads QUEEN ELIZABETH II to the upper left and ISLE OF MAN to the upper right, separated by small dot stops, with the date 2020 positioned in the lower exergual arc. The portrait captures the Queen in mature years, her hair elaborately styled beneath the George IV State Diadem. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, engraved by Mike Guilfoyle, depicts a jubilant crowd of civilians and service personnel celebrating Victory in Europe Day, rendered in frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. Waving flags emerge from the background behind the throng of figures, evoking the street celebrations of 8 May 1945. Dominating the lower centre of the design is a large letter R applied in selective gold ink, forming part of the VE Day commemorative alphabet series. The denomination legend FIFTY PENCE curves along the upper arc of the heptagonal field. |
