| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by sculptor Martin Jennings, occupying the central field of the heptagonal flan. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2024, separated by raised dots, running continuously around the portrait. The engraver's initials MJ appear in small characters beneath the truncation of the bust. |

| Reverse description | Three Allied soldiers in full battle kit, wearing Brodie helmets and carrying rifles, are depicted advancing in dynamic diagonal composition as they disembark from a landing craft, wading through surf toward the shore. Aircraft in formation are visible in the upper right field against a sky rendered in low relief, while a second landing craft crowded with troops approaches the coast in the middle distance at right, with smoke-shrouded buildings visible on the horizon. The names of the five Normandy landing beaches — UTAH, OMAHA, GOLD, JUNO, and SWORD — are inscribed in the lower field, and the legend D-DAY 6 JUNE 1944 appears along the upper right periphery. |
