Born in 1948, King Charles III is the eldest son of the late Queen Elizabeth II who passed away peacefully on 8 September 2022. Charles is the oldest person to ascend the British throne and was the longest serving heir apparent. As Prince of Wales he was patron to more than 400 charities and organisations. His other interests include climate change, heritage conservation, the arts and sustainable farming. King Charles' first coinage portrait was unveiled on 29 September by The Royal Mint. It's the work of British sculptor Martin Jennings and shows Charles facing left, the opposite direction to his mother. We'll see Jennings' portrait of King Charles on coins in our change from late 2022 onwards, circulating alongside older coins, struck during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.

Special 2022 memorial Sovereign range from The Royal Mint, the first to feature a portrait of King Charles III, paired with a one-off royal arms reverse by Jody Clark: a tribute to the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II. Shipping January 2023.
