| Aversbeschreibung | Left-facing crowned effigy of King Charles III, depicted wearing St. Edward's Crown, rendered in high relief with fine portraiture detail by engraver Martin Jennings, whose initials 'MJ' appear in the field below the truncation. The royal legend is arranged around the periphery, reading CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF, with each segment separated by raised dots. The design marks the first coinage portrait of Charles III and is distinguished by the inclusion of the crown, a departure from the uncrowned effigies used on most British circulation coinage. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The classic reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci, first introduced in 1817, depicts St. George on horseback to the right, in the act of slaying the dragon with a broken lance, the dragon shown writhing beneath the horse's hooves. St. George is shown nude save for a flowing cloak, in the heroic classical tradition. The exergue bears the engraver's name PISTRUCCI and the date 2023, separated by a raised line. The composition fills the reverse field with vigorous movement and is one of the most celebrated coin reverse designs in British numismatic history. |

Struck to mark Charles III's coronation on 6 May 2023 — the first coronation coinage from the Royal Mint in seventy years, the previous occasion being Elizabeth II's in 1953. The five-sovereign denomination itself has no continuous minting history; it is essentially a prestige bullion vehicle revived periodically for commemorative purposes rather than any functional monetary role.
The obverse portrait by Martin Jennings was the first new sovereign effigy in seven decades, and notably faces left — breaking the longstanding tradition of alternating direction with each successive monarch.
