| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by Martin Jennings. The legend curves around the periphery of the heptagonal flan, reading CHARLES III • D • G • REX • FALKLAND ISLANDS, with the date 2025 positioned in the lower field between two raised dots. The portrait features a naturalistic, mature likeness of the King with no crown or diadem, in keeping with the standard effigy adopted for British Commonwealth coinage from 2023. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Charles III's coronation at Westminster Abbey in May 2023, this piece comes from a wave of commemorative strikes across British Overseas Territories that flooded the market in the months following the ceremony. The Falkland Islands have long been a prolific issuer of such commemoratives — their output since the 1980s runs to hundreds of types — and pieces like this one are produced under licence through private mints rather than a sovereign minting authority.
The selective gold plating technique applied here is a post-strike process, not part of the dies themselves.
