Obverse: The obverse features a left-facing portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, wearing the St. Edward’s Crown, a headdress that is worn only once by a monarch during the coronation ceremony. The image is encircled by the inscriptions “CHARLES III” and “DEI. GRA. REX. FID. DEF.” This effigy was created exclusively for The Royal Mint by acclaimed British sculptor Martin Jennings.
Reverse: The reverse is adorned with Benedetto Pistrucci’s famed 1817 interpretation of the dramatic conflict between good and evil. St. George is portrayed as a brave warrior astride a galloping horse, poised to strike a fatal blow with a sword into the body of a winged dragon.
