| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail of the hair and facial features, as sculpted by Glyn Davies. The legend CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY curves around the upper periphery, while the date 2023 appears at the bottom of the coin between two raised dots. The engraver's initials GD are incorporated discreetly into the portrait. The field surrounding the effigy is deeply recessed, lending a cameo-like contrast to the design. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has a long history of issuing collector-focused decimal coinage that circulates nominally but is designed principally for the gift and commemorative market. This piece is part of a twelve-coin annual release tied to the carol, meaning the set requires acquiring all twelve denominations or types to complete — a deliberate sales mechanism the States of Guernsey have used effectively across multiple themed series since the 1980s.
