The legend CHARLES III flanks the left side of the coin and BAILIWICK OF GUERNSEY curves along the right, both following the heptagonal border. The date 2025, flanked by two decorative dots, appears in the lower field beneath the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Guernsey has no particular claim on the Titanic story — the ship was built in Belfast, registered in Liverpool, and sailed from Southampton. The island's appearance here as issuer is a fiscal arrangement, not a historical one; Guernsey's monetary authority licenses commemorative programs precisely because the format generates revenue without requiring the coins to circulate.
The "Journey" framing references the Southampton departure on April 10, 1912, four days before the sinking.
