The Royal Mint has unveiled its first coins that feature King Charles III's portrait.
It is releasing a special memorial coin range that commemorates Queen Elizabeth II's life and among the range is a special £5 Crown and a 50p piece with the new king's portrait. The commemorative range will be released on Monday, October 3.
While £5 coins don't have much use in day-to-day life, the 50 pence piece gives Brits a look at how the updated coins will look when they begin to appear from around December. The portrait was created by sculptor Martin Jennings, and has been personally approved by King Charles, reports Wales Online.
