The legend GOLD .916 appears in a lower banner beneath the cartouche, with a fine dentilated border encircling the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued sovereign-format gold coins under royal licence since the 1970s, a privilege that has allowed successive Manx issues to diverge from Royal Mint designs while retaining the sovereign's traditional weight and fineness. Charles III ascended following the death of Elizabeth II in September 2022, making 2025 issues only the third or fourth year of his effigy appearing on Manx gold. The remembrance poppy association traces to the 1921 founding of the Haig Fund — later the Royal British Legion — which first used the artificial poppy as a fundraising emblem following a suggestion drawn from John McCrae's 1915 poem.
