For 2023, Britannia is drawn in a chariot by mighty sea creatures, in a design reminiscent of the iconic Boadicea and Her Daughters statue next to Westminster Bridge."

The obverse of the coin displays the first definitive portrait of King Charles III, which shows his bare (uncrowned) head facing left.

Below the neck truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials MJ (for Martin Jennings).

Around, the monarch's legend followed by the face value and date of issue: CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 POUNDS · 2023 ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

The reverse shows, within a plain rim, the standing figure of Britannia, the female personification of Great Britain, riding in a chariot across the waves; the chariot is drawn by two mythical "seahorses". Britannia holds a trident in her raised left hand, and supports a shield with the Union Jack (the flag of the United Kingdom) with her right hand. She wears a robe and a wreathed Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal her face.

Around above, the inscription BRITANNIA, followed by the precious metal content (interrupted by the top of the trident): 1/2 oz 999.9 FINE GOLD (one half of a troy ounce of 99.99% gold). Around below, the date of issue 2023.

The artist's initials J.O (for Jonathan Olliffe) are near the rim below right.

The face value is on the obverse.
