From stamps and cash to the national anthem: the changes we will see now Charles is King
Coins, notes, and stamps that currently show Queen Elizabeth’s portrait, will now need to be replaced with King Charles’ image. It will take time for new money to be designed and minted and for old money to be taken out of circulation. It took a year for the currency baring Queen Elizabeth’s profile to appear after her ascension in 1952. It is also likely that many people will chose to hold on to the current coins to remember the Queen.
One significant change will be that King Charles III’ profile will face to the left, rather than to the right as is Queen Elizabeth II’s profile. This is a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, with each monarch alternating the way they face from their predecessors.Once a new image is taken of King Charles, the Royal Mint Advisory Committee will review the new designs of coins, medals, seals, and decorations to be recommended to the government and for the new King’s approval.
