The Royal Mint unveiled the portrait of King Charles III that will be featured on British currency.
The image, which will first appear on commemorative £5 and 50 pence coins to honor the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II, was designed by British sculptor Martin Jennings and approved by the monarch, according to a statement from the Royal Mint. In line with tradition, the King’s portrait will face to the left, the opposite direction to his mother’s.
It is the smallest work I have created, but it is humbling to know it will be seen and held by people around the world for centuries to come.” The 50 pence coin will be released into general circulation in the coming months, the Royal Mint said. The reverse of the £5 coin will feature two new portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by artist John Bergdahl. The reverse of the 50 pence will feature a design that originally appeared on the late Queen’s 1953 Coronation Crown coin.
