| Obverse description | Uncrowned, draped bust of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine naturalistic detail by sculptor Martin Jennings. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 100 POUNDS · 2026, disposed around the effigy and separated by raised dots. The denomination 100 POUNDS appears to the right of the portrait and the date 2026 at the base, with the engraver's initials MJ incuse in the lower right field beneath the truncation. The design occupies a broad, mirror-polished proof field characteristic of Royal Mint gold proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts St Michael the Archangel vanquishing a serpentine dragon, rendered in a dynamic classical composition reminiscent of the traditional Angel coinage of medieval England. The Archangel is shown in full figure, wielding a sword or spear downward upon the prostrate dragon beneath his feet, the whole design contained within the coin's polished proof field. The surrounding legend, divided by the central motif, reads PER CRUCEM TUAM · SALVA NOS CHRISTE REDEMPTOR, a traditional Latin invocation meaning 'By Thy Cross, save us, O Christ our Redeemer'. The engraver's initials SD, for Sam Dent, appear in the field. The overall composition draws on the iconographic tradition of the Royal Mint's historic Angel gold coinage. |
