| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Jody Clark, with naturalistic hair detail and a plain truncation. The encircling legend reads TRISTAN DA CUNHA · 1/8 SOVEREIGN · KING CHARLES III, with the date 2025 positioned in the lower field beneath the portrait, separated by two raised dots. The engraver's initials JC appear at the truncation. The design is set against a deeply mirrored proof field with a fine inner beaded border. |

| Reverse description | St. George, depicted as a standing armoured warrior in a Corinthian helmet and flowing cloak, raises a curved sword in his right hand while thrusting a lance with his left into the open jaws of a large, coiling dragon that fills the lower and right portions of the field. The scene is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail on the dragon's scales and the warrior's drapery. The dual dates 1925 and 2025 appear in the upper right field, commemorating the centenary of Winston Churchill's return to the Gold Standard. The curved legend CHURCHILL'S GOLD STANDARD SOVEREIGN arcs around the upper border, with the engraver's initials JC at lower left. A fine beaded inner border frames the composition. |
