| Reverse description | The central device depicts the official Royal Cypher of King Charles III — the interlaced letters C and R surmounted by the Roman numeral III — enclosed within the garter circlet bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE. The garter is surmounted by St Edward's Crown and flanked symmetrically by two Maltese-style crosses and elaborate floral flourishes, evoking the decorative vocabulary of the Order of the Garter badge. The circumferential legend THE CORONATION OF H·M· KING CHARLES III is inscribed in the upper arc, while FIVE POUNDS is rendered in the lower arc, all separated by raised dot punctuation against a deeply mirrored field. |

| Additional information |
Tristan da Cunha, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic with a permanent population of around 250 people, has no functional domestic coin economy — its commemorative issues are produced entirely for the collector market through licensing arrangements. This piece was struck to mark the coronation of Charles III on 6 May 2023, an event that generated an unusually large volume of commemorative issues across British territories, crown dependencies, and Commonwealth nations simultaneously.
The gold plating on copper-nickel is a standard production method for mid-tier commemoratives at this price point — the plating layer is typically microns thick.
