| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned, bare-headed effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by sculptor Martin Jennings. The king is depicted with a naturalistic, finely detailed bust, truncated at the shoulder. The circumferential legend reads CHARLES III·D·G·REX·F·D·500 POUNDS·2025, distributed around the periphery of the field, with the engraver's initials MJ incuse near the truncation. The smooth, mirror-polished field contrasts with the frosted portrait in classic proof style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, opened the armed phase of the American Revolution — and were triggered in part by a British column marching to seize a colonial arms cache at Concord, a mission that catastrophically failed. The irony of the Royal Mint commemorating that particular British military humiliation is not subtle. Parliament had no authority over the colonists; the colonists had no intention of backing down; and within hours of the first shots on Lexington Green, 3,800 militiamen had engaged the retreating redcoats along Battle Road.
At just over a kilogram of fine silver, this is a presentation piece with no pretense of circulatory purpose.
