Beschrijving voorzijde Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, set against a finely engine-turned guilloche field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail in the hair and facial features, with the engraver's initials MJ appearing discreetly beneath the truncation. The circular Latin legend reads CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·100 POUNDS·, distributed around the full periphery of the coin.

Aanvullende informatie

The Bull of Clarence is one of the ten heraldic beasts drawn from the Queen's Beasts series, itself derived from the carved stone figures that flanked the entrance to Westminster Abbey during Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953. Charles III's accession prompted the Royal Mint to revisit the series under new authority, with the bull specifically tracing to Richard, Duke of Clarence — brother of Edward IV — through whose line the Yorkist claim to the English throne ran.

The .9999 fineness places this above the older British Britannia gold standard of .9167, a specification change the Royal Mint adopted incrementally after 2012 to compete directly with Canadian Maple Leaf and Australian Kangaroo bullion programs.
