| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, wearing St. Edward's Crown rendered in fine relief, with the fleur-de-lis and cross pattée clearly detailed atop the arched crown. The portrait, engraved by Martin Jennings, presents a dignified bare-shouldered bust in a naturalistic style. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2023 · around the periphery, with the engraver's initials MJ visible in the lower right field. This is the first crowned portrait of Charles III to appear on United Kingdom coinage. |

| Reverse description | The Crowned Royal Arms of the United Kingdom are displayed centrally, quartering England, Scotland, and Ireland, surmounted by the Royal Crown. The shield is flanked by royal cyphers of Charles III and surrounded by the national floral emblems of the four constituent nations — the Tudor rose of England, the thistle of Scotland, the leek of Wales, and the shamrock of Ireland. The surrounding legend commemorates the Coronation of King Charles III on 6 May 2023, with the motto of the Order of the Garter, HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, completing the inscription. |
