| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by sculptor Martin Jennings. The king is depicted with naturalistically modelled facial features and short hair, without diadem or crown. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·5 POUNDS·2026, distributed around the periphery of the coin. The engraver's initials MJ appear incuse in small characters at the truncation of the bust. The field is polished and unadorned, allowing the portrait to dominate the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Archangel Michael in full martial figure, standing triumphant over a defeated dragon, in a composition closely inspired by Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated Angel design. The archangel, clad in classical armour with a short tunic and greaves, is shown with large outstretched wings and a radiate nimbus about his head; he raises a sword aloft in his right hand while thrusting a long spear downward with his left toward the vanquished dragon coiled beneath his feet. The scene is rendered in deeply sculpted high relief with meticulous feather and scale detailing. The Latin legend PER CRUCEM TUAM · SALVA NOS CHRISTE REDEMPTOR — meaning 'By Thy Cross, save us, O Christ our Redeemer' — curves along the left and upper right periphery, separated by a beaded inner border. The engraver's initial SD appears at lower right in the field. |
