| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupying the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail of the hair and collar. The peripheral legend reads CHARLES III · BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY, disposed around the upper arc of the heptagonal flan. The date 2024, flanked by two raised dots, appears in the lower exergual area. The portrait, designed by Dom Nokes, presents the King in a contemporary style without diadem or laurels. The coin's characteristic seven-sided equilateral curve heptagon shape frames the composition. |

| Additional information |
Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII, is the only English queen consort to have outlived him — she died in 1548, just over a year after Henry, from complications following childbirth. Guernsey has issued a series of 50 pence coins commemorating Henry's six wives, of which this is one installment. Parr was notably the most married English queen, taking Thomas Seymour as her fourth husband within months of Henry's death.
