| Obverse description | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled in high relief by sculptor Martin Jennings, depicting the king with naturalistic detail of facial features and short hair. The legend CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2024 runs clockwise around the periphery, separated by raised dots. The engraver's initials MJ appear in small incuse lettering below the truncation of the portrait, to the right. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the sculptural quality of the effigy to dominate the composition. |

| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Maid Marian depicted in three-quarter view facing right, rendered in finely detailed relief by designer Jody Clark. She is shown holding a bow in her left hand and reaching upward with her right hand toward an arching branch entwined with ivy, evoking the woodland setting of Sherwood Forest. Her long braided hair flows freely, and she wears a belted medieval gown with detailed drapery. The foreground is filled with large, naturalistically rendered oak leaves and fern fronds, framing the composition. The legend MAID MARIAN · MYTHS AND LEGENDS · 2024 runs along the upper periphery, with the designer's initials JC inscribed in the lower field. |
