| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of His Majesty King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief after the portrait by sculptor Martin Jennings, with the engraver's initials MJ visible in the lower field to the right of the truncation. The circular legend reads CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 500 POUNDS around the upper arc, with the date 2024 completing the inscription along the lower arc. The portrait is bold and naturalistically modelled, consistent with the standard effigy adopted for UK coinage from 2023 onward. |

| Reverse description | A heraldic Tudor Dragon passant sejant, depicted in high relief, grasping a portcullis shield in its foreclaws — a dynastic emblem associated with the Tudor royal house and the City of Westminster. The dragon is shown with pronounced musculature and detailed scale work, conveying a powerful and regal character. The inscription TUDOR DRAGON arcs around the upper field, with the engraver's initials DL and the date 2024 appearing in the lower field. The overall design was created by David Lawrence and combines historical heraldic symbolism with a contemporary engraving aesthetic. |
