| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left occupies the inner disc, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair and facial features. The circumferential legend in the outer ring reads CHARLES III · KING OF GIBRALTAR · £1 · 2026 ·, with the date 2026 positioned at the base. A small rectangular mint mark device appears at the bottom of the inner disc, and the initials RDM are incused below the truncation. The bimetallic construction is clearly delineated between the nickel-plated centre and the nickel brass outer ring, which bears the year 2026 repeated in microtext around its circumference. |

| Additional information |
Gibraltar's "Unseen Effigies" series commemorates official portrait designs that were prepared but never entered general circulation — a relatively rare occurrence in Commonwealth coinage, where each monarch's successive portraits are tightly managed by the Royal Mint and its affiliated authorities. The 5th Decade pairing of Charles III alongside Elizabeth II references the transitional period following her death in September 2022, when newly approved Carolean coinage was being phased in across multiple territories simultaneously.
