| Obverse description | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed portraiture by engraver Martin Jennings, whose initials MJ appear below the King's neck truncation. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 500 POUNDS · 2025, arranged around the periphery of the deeply mirrored field. The portrait is executed in a contemporary naturalistic style consistent with the standard Royal Mint effigy introduced for Charles III coinage. |

| Reverse description | A richly detailed commemorative scene depicting the Battles of Lexington and Concord of 1775, engraved by Michael Guilfoyle whose initials MG appear in the field. The central composition portrays two opposing figures in period military dress aiming muskets across the North Bridge at Concord, with a colonial church steeple and period architecture visible in the background, and a mounted rider galloping through the landscape below — evoking Paul Revere's midnight ride. A row of thirteen five-pointed stars borders the lower field, referencing the original American colonies, and the inscription 250 YEARS curves along the lower rim. The upper legend THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD arches across the top of the field, quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous phrase commemorating the opening volleys of the American Revolutionary War. |
