| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail, the truncation bare. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2023, separated by raised dots, with the engraver's initials MJ visible in the lower right field. The portrait, modelled by Martin Jennings, presents the King in a naturalistic contemporary style without regalia or diadem, consistent with the approved coinage effigy introduced in 2023. |
