First coins with King Charles' head begin circulating

The Royal Mint has begun the circulation of the first coins featuring the head of King Charles III. Nearly five million of such coins, created by sculptor Martin Jennings, will begin entering the system from Thursday, 8 December. In a nod to Queen Elizabeth II, the reverse of the coin will have an "exact" remastering of the 1953 coronation crown."Today is a significant event, because we're changing that monarch for the first time in 70 years," Royal Mint Division directly Rebecca Morgan said.
