| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the portrait's facial features and hair. The engraver's initials 'GD' appear in small incuse letters beneath the truncation of the bust. The surrounding legend reads 'CHARLES III · PITCAIRN ISLANDS · 50 CENTS' disposed along the upper and lower periphery in raised Latin characters, with the date '2025' flanked by two raised dots at the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed, finely modelled cobra is depicted in a classic raised-hood strike pose, its coiled body filling the majority of the field in bold high relief, with individually rendered scales conveying texture and depth. Blooming cherry blossom branches extend across the upper right of the field, their delicate flowers and bare twigs rendered in fine detail against the mirror-polished background. To the upper left, a decorative Chinese lantern is visible, adding a traditional festive element to the composition. The inscription 'LUNAR YEAR OF THE SNAKE' is incised in raised Latin lettering along the lower periphery of the reverse field. |
