This week the royal cypher of King Charles III was unveiled
This week on Dezeen, King Charles III revealed his royal monogram, which will replace the cypher of Queen Elizabeth II across the UK's official buildings and post boxes.
Designed by the College of Arms, the monogram features the letters C and R to represent the initial of the monarch's first name and the Latin word for king.
Above the letters, a Tudor Crown represents the crown that was worn by regents following Henry VIII until it was lost when the monarchy was abolished in 1649.
The first coins with the effigy of King Charles III were revealed
The British Royal Mint also unveiled the first coins to be minted with the effigy of the new king.
Designed by British sculptor Martin Jennings, the 50 pence coin and commemorative £5 coin depict Charles III without a crown and looking to the left, following the tradition of the British monarch facing the opposite direction to their predecessor.
