| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, after the portrait by Glyn Davies, whose initials GD appear below the truncation. The legend CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · ST. HELENA arcs around the periphery within a beaded border, with the denomination 1 POUND positioned in the lower field. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with fine hair and facial detail characteristic of the official first coinage effigy of the reign. |

| Reverse description | The allegorical figure of Una, depicted as a young woman in flowing classical robes, is seated beside a majestic lion in a composition evoking the celebrated Una and the Lion design first introduced on the 1839 British gold five-pound piece by William Wyon. Una rests her hand upon the lion, which sits alert and poised at her side, both figures rendered in high sculptural relief with selective gold plating highlighting their forms against the polished proof field. The inscription UNA AND THE LION arcs along the upper periphery, with the East India Company monogram E I C and the date 2023 appearing in the lower field. |
