| Obverse description | The design presents a highly sculptural, ultra-high relief composition in which the obverse bears a central sunken medallion featuring the right-facing effigy of HM King Charles III, modeled by engraver DT, surrounded by the circular legend. Framing this central portrait are the massive, deeply textured forepaws of a polar bear rendered in dramatic high relief, with individual claws projecting prominently above the effigy. Above the paws, a row of jagged Arctic ice formations extends across the upper field, while the surrounding background field is elaborately engraved with a repeating geometric diamond and cross motif evoking indigenous Arctic textile patterns. The overall composition integrates the royal portrait within the bear's paw in a striking trompe-l'oeil artistic conceit. |
