| Reverse description | The central design features the royal cypher of King Charles III — the interlaced letters CR III — accompanied by the numeral 75, commemorating the King's seventy-fifth birthday. The cipher and numerals are framed by a decorative wreath composed of oak leaves and delphiniums, flowers associated with the King's birth month of November. The legend HIS MAJESTY KING CHARLES III arcs above the central device, while the commemorative dates 1948 and 2023 appear below, separated by a dividing mark. |

| Additional information |
Charles III turned 75 on November 14, 2023 — the same birthdate shared, coincidentally, with the 1948 silver wedding commemorative issue struck to mark his parents' marriage in the year of his birth. The Royal Mint's quarter-sovereign-sized gold pieces in this format have become standard birthday and jubilee vehicles in recent decades, struck in .9999 fine gold to a specification that mirrors the bullion quarter sovereign but carries commemorative reverse dies and collector pricing well above melt.
