| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III in right-facing profile, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait depicts the King with naturalistically detailed hair and a bare neck truncation. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·, separated by raised dot stops, running clockwise around the periphery. The engraver's initials MJ appear discreetly below the neck truncation. The design is unadorned by regalia, consistent with the first definitive coinage portrait of Charles III. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a heraldic portcullis with chains, the badge of the Palace of Westminster and a traditional symbol of the British Crown, surmounted by a Tudor crown with crosslet finial. The portcullis is shown in fine detail with vertical bars, horizontal rails, and downward-pointing spikes at the base, suspended by two chains that curve downward on either side. A beaded border encircles the design. The denomination ONE PENNY arcs along the upper left field in spaced lettering, and the date 2024 appears in the lower field below the device. The reverse design is based on the original artwork by Christopher Ironside introduced for the decimal penny in 1971. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Portcullis penny revives a design rooted in Tudor heraldry — the badge of Henry VII's Beaufort ancestry, adopted by the crown and used continuously on English pennies since the early sixteenth century. This silver 2024 issue belongs to the Royal Mint's broader program of striking bullion and proof versions of everyday circulation types in precious metals, a practice that accelerated sharply after decimalization rendered the original bronze penny a near-worthless transaction coin.
Charles III's effigy here follows the official portrait by Martin Jennings, first used on coinage in 2023.
