| Reverse description | Bimetallic coin with a left-facing sperm whale depicted in low relief, its body spanning the boundary between the darkened nickel-plated steel centre and the copper-plated steel outer ring, creating a striking two-tone effect. The denomination 50C appears in raised letters at the upper portion of the outer ring above the whale, while the inscription HALF DOLLAR is struck in bold letters along the lower periphery of the outer ring. The minimalist composition emphasises the whale's streamlined form against the contrasting bimetallic fields. |
