King Charles' royal cypher revealed - and how coins, postboxes and stamps will look

King Charles III has worn his brand new royal cypher for the very first time. His Majesty was formally proclaimed monarch at the Accession Council on Saturday morning after the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday after a remarkable 70 years on the throne.
