| Obverse description | Right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, depicted as a mature bare-headed portrait with closely cropped hair, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · F · D · GIBRALTAR encircles the portrait, reading from the lower left around the periphery, with the date 2023 positioned in the lower exergue. The portrait was engraved by Raphael David Maklouf and conveys a dignified, classical character consistent with the sovereign coinage tradition. |

| Reverse description | Right-facing classical female bust rendered in high cameo relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, evoking the style of ancient Syracusan coinage, particularly the celebrated Arethusa type. The figure is depicted with elaborately styled hair swept upward and secured with a decorative fillet or diadem, with loose curling tresses falling to the neck. The portrait occupies the full central field, with no peripheral legend or inscription visible, allowing the sculptural quality of the design to dominate. The overall aesthetic references the romantic and classical imagery associated with the 'Love Story' series theme. |
