-
Obverse: A crowned portrait of King Charles III, designed exclusively for The Royal Mint by sculptor Martin Jennings.
-
Reverse: Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic depiction of St George slaying the dragon, a design synonymous with British coinage since 1817.
The coin has a diameter of 19.30mm and weighs 3.99 grams.
Coins that have been graded as PF70 Ultra Cameo by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) are considered to be in perfect proof condition, with no post-production imperfections visible under 5x magnification. The “Ultra Cameo” designation indicates a strong, frosted contrast between the raised design elements and the mirrored background.
