Obverse description	The coin is struck in the form of a multi-faceted heart, replicating a patented Ideal Cut Heart Diamond design by Crossworks Manufacturing. The largest facet — the table — bears the effigy of King Charles III, accompanied by the legend 'CHARLES III D·G·REX', the issuing authority 'CANADA', the date '2025', and the denomination '500 DOLLARS'. A genuine 0.23 ct. Ideal Cut Heart Diamond, graded by the De Beers Institute of Diamonds, is set into one of the crown's main facets. The overall design showcases the coin's distinctive geometric faceting in polished .9999 fine gold, evoking the brilliance and symmetry of a cut gemstone. The engraver's initials 'SR' appear within the field.

Reverse description	The reverse presents the multi-faceted underside of the heart-shaped coin, with the gold surface divided into a series of precisely angled geometric facets radiating from a central point, faithfully replicating the pavilion of an Ideal Cut Heart Diamond. The polished .9999 fine gold surfaces create a gradient of light and shadow across the facets, accentuating the three-dimensional sculptural quality of the design. No additional legends or devices appear on this face, allowing the architectural precision of the faceted form to stand as the sole decorative element.
