The twin towers of the West Front dominate the composition, with intricate architectural detailing of the nave, windows, and entrance portal rendered in fine relief. To the lower right, a small circular privy mark incorporating the royal cypher of King Charles III appears above the date '6th MAY 2023' in three lines. The upper field bears the legend 'CORONATION OF KING CHARLES III' arcing along the upper border. |

| Additional information |
The British Antarctic Territory, though a genuine UK overseas territory with its own government, issues coins primarily as numismatic products — no circulating coinage economy exists there. Westminster Abbey's connection to Antarctic exploration runs deeper than ceremony: the abbey holds memorials to both Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton, the two figures who most defined British presence on the continent this territory claims.
