| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field of this equilateral curve heptagonal flan, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and facial features. The legend CHARLES III flanks the upper left periphery, with BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY continuing around the upper right, all in raised Latin capitals. The date 2026 appears at the base of the coin, flanked by raised dots. The portrait style is consistent with the standard definitive effigy adopted for Guernsey coinage following the accession of Charles III. |

| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth, presenting a bold, large-scale right-facing portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with pearl necklace and detailed curled hair, occupying the left portion of the field. The design is divided by a vertical panel on the right side bearing the inscription QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND in raised Latin capitals, with the numeral 100 enclosed in a circular cartouche above and the denomination 50p inscribed at the lower left of the field. Three fleurs-de-lis are depicted at upper right, lower left, and lower right of the portrait, serving as decorative heraldic elements referencing Guernsey's historical connection to Normandy. The overall composition is a stylised commemorative tribute evoking the Queen's century mark, executed with mirror-like fields befitting Brilliant Uncirculated quality. |
