The new obverse design introduces King Charles III’s effigy for the first time in the series, featuring a left-profile bust alongside consistent inscriptions, including “CHARLES III,” “1 DOLLAR,” and “2024.”
Both background surfaces feature incised radial lines, with a small maple leaf situated on the lower right of the reverse design, featuring the last two digits of the mintage year as a security measure.
