| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of His Majesty King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief in a bold, naturalistic style by sculptor Martin Jennings, the king depicted without regalia in a contemporary portrait manner. The surrounding legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 200 POUNDS · 2023, divided across the upper and lower fields, with the engraver's initials MJ visible in the lower right field near the truncation. The portrait fills the majority of the flan, with a deeply mirrored proof field providing strong contrast to the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | Facing crowned portrait of King Henry VIII rendered in a style evoking the iconic Hans Holbein the Younger tradition, depicted within a beaded inner circle with the king shown full-faced wearing his crown and royal robes. The surrounding Latin legend, rendered in a decorative blackletter-influenced script with distinctive archaic letterforms, encircles the inner beaded border. The composition draws directly from the celebrated Holbein imagery that defined the visual iconography of the Tudor monarch, combining historical gravitas with fine proof craftsmanship. |
