| Obverse description | Uncrowned and undraped right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupies the central field in high relief, rendered in a naturalistic and contemporary portrait style. The king's features are rendered with fine sculptural detail, with his initials 'MJ' appearing as a small engraver's mark at the truncation of the bust. The surrounding legend reads 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 200 POUNDS · 2023', arcing continuously around the periphery of the coin in raised capital letters, with the denomination and date completing the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed and dynamic depiction of Britannia as a triumphant charioteer, designed by Jonathan Olliffe. The helmeted, draped figure of Britannia stands upright in a chariot drawn by two powerful sea-horses (hippocampi), their scaled bodies and webbed fins rendered with exceptional sculptural precision in the lower field. Britannia holds a trident aloft in her right hand and steadies a Union flag-emblazoned shield with her left, while a lion-head boss adorns the central hub of the chariot wheel. The legend 'BRITANNIA · 2OZ 999.9 · FINE GOLD' arcs across the upper field, with the date '2023' inscribed at the base and the engraver's initials 'J.O' appearing discreetly in the lower right field. |
