| Obverse description | The obverse features a right-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III, modelled by Glyn Davies, occupying the central silver field within a bimetallic-style layout. The portrait presents the King in a contemporary, naturalistic style with fine detail in the hair and facial features, and the Pobjoy Mint initials 'PM' appear discreetly below the truncation. The surrounding gold-plated outer ring carries the full circular legend reading 'BRITISH ANTARCTIC TERRITORY · 2023 · KING CHARLES III · 2 POUNDS · PM' in raised serif lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a powerful, muscular figure of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, standing in three-quarter view to the left and holding an upright trident in his right hand. Behind him, a large celestial body — representing the planet Neptune — is rendered in finely engraved relief against a radiant, swirling background evoking cosmic energy and turbulent seas. The gold-plated outer ring is decorated with six small relief depictions of planets and ringed bodies at cardinal and intermediate positions, enhancing the astronomical theme. The legend 'NEPTUNE' arcs across the upper portion of the gold ring, while 'TWO POUNDS' appears along the lower arc, both in raised serif lettering. |
