Britain's Royal Mint has unveiled the first coins to feature the portrait of King Charles III. Britons will begin to see Charles' image on their change in December, as 50-pence coins depicting him enter circulation.
The new monarch's effigy was created by British sculptor Martin Jennings, and has been personally approved by Charles, the Royal Mint said Friday.
A separate memorial 5-pound coin remembering the life and legacy of Elizabeth will be released Monday. One side of this coin features Charles, while the reverse side features two new portraits of Elizabeth side by side. "When first we used to make coins, that was the only way that people could know what the monarch actually looked like, not in the days of social media like now," said Anne Jessopp, chief executive of the Royal Mint."So the portrait of King Charles will be on each and every coin as we move forward.""It is the smallest work I have created, but it is humbling to know it will be seen and held by people around the world for centuries to come," he said.
