The King Penguin is the second-largest penguin species, with only the Emperor Penguin being larger. These birds are built for life in the water, using their strong flippers and streamlined bodies to glide through the ocean with ease.

King Penguins have a unique way of moving on land, known as “tobogganing.” When traveling across ice or snow, they often lie on their bellies and push themselves forward with their flippers and feet. This method is efficient for quick movement, and some researchers believe they also do it just for fun, especially when sliding downhill.

The obverse of the 2025 Gold King Penguin Coin features a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design, created by Glyn Davies, is a traditional representation of the king without a crown, in line with British coinage standards.

On the reverse of the 2025 1 oz Gold King Penguin Coin, a group of King Penguins is shown in their natural habitat. The detailed artwork focuses on a large adult penguin in the foreground, with four others, including a juvenile, in the background. The Falkland Islands serve as an important breeding ground for these birds, particularly at Volunteer Point.
