| Additional information |
The Royal Mint began issuing Charles III coinage in earnest following the September 2022 accession, with the new effigy by Martin Jennings — the first portrait of a British monarch sculpted by a woman — replacing the familiar Rank-Broadley profile of Elizabeth II that had appeared on British coinage since 1998. Unlike the traditional alternation of facing directions between successive monarchs, Charles faces left, the same direction as his mother, a break with a convention that had held since the reign of Charles II.
