| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupying the central field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and facial features, presenting a naturalistic and contemporary artistic style. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS · 2024, interrupted by the engraver's initials MJ positioned in the lower central field beneath the portrait. The inscription abbreviates the traditional royal titles Dei Gratia Rex Fidei Defensor, meaning By the Grace of God King Defender of the Faith. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Tudor Dragon series draws on the red dragon device used by Henry VII, who adopted it as a supporter of the royal arms after Bosworth in 1485 — partly to emphasize his Welsh lineage and bolster a claim to the throne that was, by strict hereditary logic, shakier than he preferred to advertise. Charles III has leaned heavily into historic royal heraldic imagery across his early coinage program, a deliberate departure from the more restrained commemorative themes favored under Elizabeth II.
Copper-nickel crown-sized pieces of this specification have been the Royal Mint's workhorse commemorative format since decimalisation.
