Coins featuring effigy of King Charles III revealed as "biggest change to Britain's coinage in decades"



The British Royal Mint has unveiled the first coins to include an effigy of King Charles III, which was designed by British sculptor Martin Jennings.
Unveiled today, the 50 pence coin and commemorative £5 coin are the first currency to be minted with an effigy of King Charles III, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II earlier this month.
The first coins featuring King Charles III have been unveiled
King Charles III's image differs in two major ways from the Queen's. He is depicted facing to the left, as it is traditional for the British monarch to look in the opposite direction to their predecessor.
Unlike the Queen, he is not depicted wearing a crown. This aligns with many previous monarchs, including his grandfather King George VI and great grandfather King George V. The coins feature a sculpture of King Charles III made by Martin Jennings
The image of the King was created from a sculpture made by Jennings, which replicates a photograph of the monarch. It will be produced on the majority of British coins that will be introduced to replace those featuring the Queen.
"It is a privilege to sculpt the first official effigy of His Majesty and to receive his personal approval for the design," said Jennings.
