| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupying the central field with a naturalistic and finely detailed portrait style. The legend arcs around the periphery reading CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·5 POUNDS·2023, with the engraver's initials MJ incuse below the truncation of the bust. The design is characterised by a high-relief, contemporary sculptural aesthetic, with mirror-like proof fields providing strong contrast to the frosted portrait. This first definitive coinage effigy of Charles III replaces the longstanding portrait tradition of a diademed or crowned likeness with a bare-headed representation. |
