| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of His Majesty King Charles III facing left, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupying the raised central silver inner disc of a bimetallic-style proof flan. The portrait renders the King in fine detail with naturalistic hair and facial modelling. The engraver's initials 'MJ' appear in the field below the truncation. The surrounding gold-coloured outer ring bears the Latin legend divided around the circumference, with the denomination and date also present. |

| Reverse description | The central silver inner field displays Tolkien's interlaced personal monogram — a stylised ligature of the letters J, R, R and T derived from his own design — set within a decorative geometric border of interlocking triangular and knotwork motifs evoking Middle-earth iconography. The engraver's initials 'DL' appear at the lower right of the inner disc. The gold-coloured outer ring carries the inscription recording Tolkien's birth and death years at the top, flanked by decorative knotwork devices, and his three descriptors at the base. |
