The Royal Mint has unveiled the official coin effigy of King Charles III.
A 50p depicting the King's image will gradually enter circulation to meet demand and land in wallets and purses. In the meantime, the Mint will release a memorial coin range on Monday October 3 at 9am to commemorate the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.
The King’s portrait will first appear on a special £5 Crown and 50p commemorating the Queen.
