| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III after the portrait by Jody Clark, depicted with naturalistic detail showing the King in civilian dress. The legend CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · ALDERNEY arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 2024 appears at the base. The design is framed by a fine beaded border, and the engraver's initials JC appear discreetly below the truncation of the portrait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene of Allied soldiers advancing across a beach during the D-Day landings of 6 June 1944, rendered in high relief with fine engraved detail. In the foreground, Czech hedgehog anti-tank obstacles and beach debris are strewn across the surf line, while a group of steel-helmeted infantrymen in full battle kit are shown moving purposefully toward the shore under fire. The inscription D-DAY arcs prominently across the upper field, accompanied by the commemorative dates 1944–2024, and the large numeral 80 with the word YEARS appears to the left. The denomination FIVE POUNDS is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
