Silver Two Ounces 2024 The Four Nations, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

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: CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 5 POUNDS ·. Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

The obverse has a textured background ("guilloche" geometric pattern).

The reverse represents the United Kingdom and features the mythical "heraldic beasts" symbolic of each of its parts; the coin is divided into four sectors, showing respectively (clockwise from top) the lion of England, the unicorn of Scotland, the stag of Northern Ireland and the dragon of Wales - each beast slightly overlapping into a neighbouring sector. The Imperial Crown (depicted as the Tudor crown) is in a diamond at centre.

The designer's initials GKC (for Gregory Kenneth Cameron) are in the field under the Welsh dragon.

The background is textured with micro-dots.

Repeated multiple times around the rim in microtext, the inscription 2 OZ FINE SILVER · 999.9 · 2024 · (two troy ounces of 99.99% silver, issued in 2024).
