| Obverse description | The copper-nickel inner disc bears a right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, modelled in high relief by sculptor Martin Jennings, with the engraver's initials MJ visible in the lower field of the centre. The portrait captures the King in a naturalistic contemporary style, bare-headed and neckline visible. The surrounding nickel-brass ring carries the circular Latin legend CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 2 POUNDS · 2025, interrupted by centred dots, reading continuously around the full circumference. |

| Reverse description | The copper-nickel inner disc presents a bold three-quarter view of HMS Belfast, the Royal Navy Town-class light cruiser, depicted underway with stylised waves at the waterline and her forward gun turrets prominently trained to the right. The superstructure, mast, and radar equipment are rendered in fine relief detail. Behind the warship, a partial globe or radar-grid motif occupies the upper right of the centre field, evoking the ship's wartime navigational and operational reach. The nickel-brass outer ring bears the legend HMS BELFAST arching across the upper arc, with GB (for Great Britain) completing the inscription, and the engraver's initials GB appear at lower right of the centre; raised depictions of naval equipment and map outlines continue into the ring, creating a seamless design across both metals. |
