| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, modelled by engraver Martin Jennings, rendered in high relief with finely detailed facial features and natural hair. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 500 POUNDS · 2026, running continuously around the field. The engraver's initials MJ appear in small incuse letters beneath the truncation of the portrait. The design occupies the full flan, with the mirrored proof fields providing strong contrast to the frosted portrait. |

| Reverse description | The royal cypher of Queen Elizabeth II — the interlaced letters E II R — displayed prominently in the centre of the field, surmounted by St Edward's Crown rendered in fine detail. The cypher is encircled by the Garter belt bearing the motto HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE, and the entire central composition is framed by branches of English oak. The commemorative dates 1926 and 2026 appear flanking the design to mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth, with the Latin motto EXALTABITUR IN GLORIA inscribed below. The engraver's initials HDG appear at the base of the design. |
