| Obverse description | Left-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, modelled by engraver Glyn Davies, occupying the central field. The legend KING CHARLES III arcs along the upper periphery, with ISLE OF MAN continuing along the right, and the date 2023 appearing in the lower field flanked by two raised dots. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic style with fine detail to the hair and collar, set against a flat, unadorned field within a raised rim. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has long issued its own distinctive coinage under Crown Dependency status, giving the Manx treasury unusual latitude to commission regional and thematic designs independent of Royal Mint direction. The Cheddar Gorge, despite being firmly in Somerset, fits a broader series celebrating landscapes of the British Isles that the island has periodically used to distinguish its circulating coinage from standard UK issues.
Charles III coinage across British territories entered production following the September 2022 proclamation, with dependencies like the Isle of Man moving quickly to issue their own portrait variants.
