The reverse of the coin shows the typical theme of the Sovereign: the iconic design of St George and the dragon, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, along with the inscription: "2024" - the year of issue. Pistrucci's famous reverse design has since appeared on Sovereigns struck for each monarch since the reign of Queen Victoria. The obverse of the coin depicts the Effigy of King Charles III with the inscriptions: "CHARLES III" - the name of the King, "DEI GRA REX FID DEF" - referring to the expression of faith toward the monarch.
