| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, depicted wearing St Edward's Crown, rendered in high relief by sculptor Martin Jennings. The portrait presents the monarch in a mature, unidealized style, with fine detail in the crown's fleurs-de-lis, cross pattée surmount, and jewelled band. The engraver's initials 'MJ' appear in the lower right field. The circumferential Latin legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2023 ·, interrupted by the portrait and distributed across the heptagonal periphery. |

| Reverse description | The reverse design by John Bergdahl depicts a precise architectural elevation of Westminster Abbey's nave, rendered in fine incised lines evoking the Gothic arches, lancet windows, and vaulted stonework of the historic coronation church. Centered within a prominent pointed Gothic arch is the royal cypher of King Charles III — an interlaced 'C' and 'R' with the Roman numeral 'III' — surmounted by a detailed St Edward's Crown. The designer's initials 'NJ' appear discreetly in the lower right field. The composition fills the heptagonal flan with no additional legend, allowing the architectural and heraldic imagery to occupy the full field. |
