| Obverse description | Uncrowned effigy of King Charles III facing left, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail by engraver Martin Jennings, whose initials 'MJ' appear at the truncation. The legend CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF · runs continuously around the periphery in raised Latin lettering, separated by raised dot stops. The portrait occupies the full field with no inner border, lending the design a bold, modern classicism characteristic of contemporary Royal Mint proof issues. |

| Reverse description | The crowned royal cypher of King Charles III — the interlaced letters C and R surmounted by the numeral III — is displayed centrally within a finely detailed floral wreath tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The St. Edward's Crown rises above the cypher, flanked by the divided date 20-23. The denomination SIXPENCE arcs across the upper field. The engraver's initials JB (John Bergdahl) appear at the lower right of the wreath. The overall composition closely echoes the traditional sixpence reverse design first introduced under Elizabeth II, here updated with the new royal cypher. |
