| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail of facial features and hair. The legend CHARLES III flanks the left periphery and BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY arcs along the right, both inscribed in raised Latin capitals following the heptagonal coin form. The date 2023 appears in the lower exergual area, flanked by two small dots. The portrait is the official effigy designed by Glyn Davies for use on Guernsey coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a full-colour selective print depiction of Wellington, the guitar-playing Womble character from the classic British children's animated series. Wellington is portrayed in cartoon style wearing a blue cap, round spectacles, and a white coat, holding a balalaika-style guitar with a pink strap. The name WELLINGTON arcs across the upper field in bold blue lettering, while the denomination numeral 50 appears to the right in white with a blue outline. A muted silver background featuring stylised Wimbledon Common tree silhouettes frames the vibrant central colour print. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Wombles, created by Elisabeth Beresford after a Boxing Day walk on Wimbledon Common in 1968, became a fixture of British children's television in the early 1970s — each character named after a location, Wellington after the New Zealand capital. Guernsey has issued licensed character coins prolifically since the 1970s, partly because the island's status outside the UK mainland allows greater flexibility in what appears on legal tender without Bank of England oversight.
The selective colour application is lithographic printing bonded to the struck surface post-minting, a process now standard for this category of collector issue.
