| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, sculpted by Jody Clark, depicted in right-facing profile bust wearing the George IV State Diadem crown and a drop earring. The portrait is rendered with fine relief detail characteristic of the Clark design introduced in 2015. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II·DEI·GRA·REG·FID·DEF with the date 2019, separated by raised dots, and the engraver's initials J.C appear below the bust truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse design by Clive Duncan commemorates the Victoria Cross, Britain's highest military decoration for gallantry. At centre, a modern soldier in combat uniform and helmet is depicted carrying a wounded comrade to safety, rendered in bold relief against the polished field. Behind the figures, the distinctive cross pattée form of the Victoria Cross medal radiates outward with incuse burst lines, creating a dramatic geometric backdrop. The denomination legend FIFTY PENCE is inscribed along the lower periphery in two parts flanking the central design, with the engraver's initials C.D situated at the base of the central motif. |
