| Reverse description | An elaborate botanical composition designed by John Bergdahl fills the reverse field, centred on the large numeral 75 rendered in bold relief to commemorate the King's 75th birthday. Above the numeral, the Royal Cypher CIII surmounted by the St Edward's Crown occupies the centre of a richly detailed arrangement of oak branches with acorns and leaves, tulips, and other flowering plants. A honeybee appears below the cypher and a dragonfly is positioned at the base of the composition. The upper arc bears the legend HIS MAJESTY KING CHARLES III, while the birth and anniversary years 1948 and 2023 flank the dragonfly along the lower rim. The engraver's initials DT appear discreetly in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
Charles III turned 75 on November 14, 2023 — the same date his mother, Elizabeth II, had issued a commemorative coin for his 21st birthday in 1969. The Royal Mint has marked his milestone birthdays with gold issues going back decades, making this one entry in a long personal numismatic record. At two troy ounces of .9999 fine gold, the piece sits at the premium end of the birthday series, with mintage figures kept deliberately low to maintain collector value in a market the Mint has worked hard to dominate against international bullion rivals.
