| Beschrijving voorzijde | Fourth-generation effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, after the portrait by Ian Rank-Broadley, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The engraver's initials IRB appear truncated at the base of the neck. The peripheral legend reads ELIZABETH II BAILIWICK OF JERSEY, with FIFTY PENCE to the left and the date 2017 at the base, all separated by raised dots. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jersey issued a lengthy series of WWI centenary 50 pence pieces between 2014 and 2018, each commemorating a specific figure or campaign. Kitchener's inclusion was inevitable — his face had arguably done more recruiting work than any other image in British history, appearing on the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee's 1914 poster before his death in June 1916 aboard HMS Hampshire, mined off Orkney.
Gold-plated steel in this format is a collector-grade souvenir piece rather than anything intended for circulation.
