| Obverse description | Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, modelled by Glyn Davies, occupying the central field of the heptagonal flan. The king is depicted with natural hair and no regalia, in the contemporary portrait style adopted for post-accession coinage. The circular legend reads 'CHARLES III • BAILIWICK OF JERSEY •' around the upper periphery, with the date '2023' flanked by two raised dots positioned along the lower edge. |

| Reverse description | A detailed frontal architectural rendering of Windsor Castle occupies the upper portion of the reverse field, with selective 24-carat gold plating applied to the towers, battlements, and gatehouse to highlight the structure's grandeur against the silver-toned field. The background behind the castle features a finely struck crosshatched or diaper pattern, lending decorative depth to the composition. A horizontal banner below the castle bears the two-line inscription 'WINDSOR CASTLE', with the denomination '50p' beneath, flanked on either side by four fleurs-de-lis arranged symmetrically in the lower field, referencing the heraldic traditions of the Bailiwick of Jersey. |

| Additional information |
Jersey has issued commemorative 50 pence pieces under royal license for decades, but the market for selectively gold-plated silver-washed base metal issues of this type is driven almost entirely by retail collectors rather than numismatic demand. Windsor Castle itself became Crown property in a meaningful legal sense only in 1917, when George V consolidated royal estates under direct Crown ownership — partly to distance the family from its German dynastic identity during wartime.
