The reverse of the coin shows a graceful portrait of Queen Nefertiti, an ancient Egyptian queen who reigned during the 14th century BC, alongside her husband Pharaoh Akhenaten. Nefertiti is depicted in ancient Egyptian art as having a strikingly beautiful and elegant face. She is typically shown with high cheekbones, a slender nose, full lips, and a graceful neck. Nefertiti's eyes are almond-shaped and framed by carefully sculpted brows. Her hair is usually portrayed as being worn short or in a stylized wig, adorned with intricate jewelry and headdresses. The Impasto technique is featured, with thick, textured layers to create a three-dimensional effect. On the obverse of the coin, the Effigy of King Charles III is depicted, together with the inscriptions: "2023" – the year of issue, "CHARLES III" – the name of the King, and "D.G. REX" - an abbreviation commonly seen on coins and banknotes, which stands for "Dei Gratia Rex", a Latin expression for "By the Grace of God, King". This coin is no longer legal tender, as it is altered version of an original "legal tender" coin, enhanced by a private Mint in Germany, which is not related in any way to Royal Mint.
