| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two automobiles in high relief set against a polished field, commemorating the centenary of the motor car. In the upper portion, an early horseless carriage of circa 1885 vintage is shown in three-quarter view, representing the dawn of the automotive age. In the foreground, a mid-twentieth century compact car — identifiable as a Morris Mini — is depicted in bold relief, symbolising a century of automotive progress. The circumferential legend '· CENTENARY OF THE MOTOR CAR · 1885 1985 ·' arcs around the upper border, with the denomination '· 50 SENITI ·' inscribed at the base. A decorative milled inner border frames the entire reverse design. |
