The PM mint mark appears on the obverse underneath the Queen's bust on the 1976 issue.
The PM mint mark appears on the obverse underneath the Queen's bust, and on the reverse near the bottom of the topographical map on the 1977, 1978, and 1979 issues.
Die letters on the 1979 issue are found on the topographical map below the boat and near the second F in the FIFTY in the denomination.
The stylized triskelion privy mark found on the reverse of the 1979 issue is between the boat and the first E in the PENCE of the denomination.

 

 

Fifty pence coins were also issued in presentation packs, similar to the blue wallets released for decimalisation in the UK.  These included an information card for public use. For more details, see the links in set section.
