Bank of England shares first look at new King Charles III bank notes

The Bank of England have unveiled the new look for bank notes - the first batch featuring King Charles III.

Images of the new £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes have been shared. They show the King's portrait, which was supplied by Buckingham Palace back in 2013, with minor tweaks being made in the years since as he aged.

No changes will be made to the figures featured on the obverse of the notes, which are currently Winston Churchill, Jane Austen, JMW Turner and Alan Turing in ascending order of value. The design of notes will also continue to follow the existing colour scheme and patterns introduced with the switch to polymer in 2017.
