| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by Martin Jennings, set against a finely engine-turned guilloche field. The peripheral legend runs clockwise around the bust, with the denomination incorporated into the circling inscription. The portrait is rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail, presenting the monarch bare-headed in the tradition established for this bullion series. |

| Reverse description | The Black Bull of Clarence, one of the Queen's Beasts heraldic supporters, is depicted passant and sejant in high relief at centre, its tail raised and head turned to face the viewer. The bull supports with its foreleg a shield charged with the Tudor double rose, symbolising the union of the Houses of York and Lancaster. A large Tudor rose appears prominently in the right field, rendered with fine botanical detail. The encircling legend above identifies the device and specifies the bullion weight and fineness, while the date 2023 appears in the lower exergue flanked by two pellets. The textured background field provides strong contrast to the polished relief elements. |
