The portrait, modelled in the official style adopted for Commonwealth sovereign coinage, is positioned slightly left of centre. The circular legend reads CHARLES III DEI GRA REX F D FALKLAND ISLANDS, disposed around the upper and lower periphery with dot separators. The date 2025 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by dots. A beaded inner border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the classic Saint George and the Dragon composition in the tradition established by Benedetto Pistrucci for the British sovereign series. Saint George is shown as an armoured warrior on horseback, his cloak billowing behind him, thrusting a broken lance downward toward a writhing dragon beneath the horse's hooves. The scene is rendered in bold, deeply struck relief with considerable sculptural detail in the musculature of both horse and figure. The Garter motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE is inscribed around the upper periphery with dot separators. The lower field contains the broken lance tip and the dragon coiled on rocky ground. |
