Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Falkland Islands King Penguin Gold Coin presents a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design, created by Glyn Davies, follows the long-standing tradition of portraying the British monarch without a crown on coinage issued by the UK and its territories. The inscriptions include CHARLES III, D.G. REX., FALKLAND ISLANDS, 50 P, and 2025.

Reverse

On the reverse of 2025 Proof King Penguin 1/10 oz Gold Coins, a group of King Penguins is depicted in their natural environment. A large adult penguin is prominently featured in the foreground, while four additional members of the colony, including a young chick, appear in the background. The Falkland Islands serve as a critical breeding ground for these birds, with many residing at Volunteer Point. The inscriptions read FALKLAND ISLANDS and KING PENGUIN.

History

King Penguins are well-adapted to the harsh conditions of their habitat. Their thick, layered feathers provide excellent insulation, helping them stay warm in icy waters. Their distinctive black-and-white coloration serves multiple purposes, from camouflage in the ocean to absorbing heat while resting on land.
