| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned and unadorned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished inner field. The portrait occupies a central raised disc, with the engraver's initials 'MJ' incuse below the truncation. The surrounding milled border bears the circular legend divided by raised dots: 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2023', struck in the rose-gold-toned outer ring characteristic of this bimetallic proof issue. |

Ada Lovelace's association with computing rests almost entirely on her 1843 translation of Luigi Menabrea's notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine — to which she added her own annotations, running to nearly three times the length of the original text. Those notes included what is now recognized as the first published algorithm intended for machine execution. Whether Babbage himself had already conceived something equivalent remains a genuinely contested question among historians of science.
The Royal Mint issued this piece under the broader "Pioneering Women" series, which began in 2022.
