The First Coins To Feature King Charles III
The world mourned at the passing of Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II upon her death on September 8, 2022. To honor her lifetime of service to the people of Great Britain and the British Commonwealth, the world-renowned Royal Mint has released a series of Queen’s Memorial coins that pay tribute to her legacy built upon more than 70 years on the throne in faithful duty to her people. And crowning these coins are not only poignant images that are representative of the beloved late monarch, but the first official coin portrait of the new king, Elizabeth’s son, King Charles III.
The Dawn Of A New Royal Legacy
Here you can secure the legal-tender 50 Pence coin struck in 8 grams of Cupro-Nickel (CuNi that features the design for the 1953 coronation crown coin. Originally designed by British Sculptor and updated by herald painter Edgar Fuller, it’s a poignant tribute to Her Majesty’s remarkable reign. The coin’s obverse shows the new effigy of King Charles III as designed by British sculptor and calligrapher Martin Jennings. As per British tradition, Charles is shown facing left, the opposite direction of Elizabeth’s portrait over the years that always faced right. Whenever a new monarch ascends to the throne in Great Britain, the new effigy always faces the opposite direction of the previous monarch.
