“The Royal Mint has unveiled a new coin design introducing a portrait of King Charles III and, after production, the coins will be added to the 27 billion coins currently in circulation in the UK. The image was created by British sculptor Martin Jennings who used photographs as a reference for the design; the king has been said to be very pleased with the likeness!
Have you noticed that the King is not wearing a crown? This was a deliberate design specification to make the King appear more human and accessible, why do you think this is important?”
