| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of St Paul's Cathedral, London, occupies the central field, depicted in a rhodium-plated finish contrasting with the gold-gilded border and legend areas. Dramatic searchlight beams radiate upward and outward from behind the cathedral, evoking the celebratory atmosphere of VE Day on 8 May 1945. The commemorative inscription VE-DAY 75 YEARS arcs across the upper field, with the date 8/5/1945 inscribed below in the mid-field. The denomination FIFTY POUNDS is boldly lettered across the lower portion of the design within a raised cartouche. |
