Charlie portrait, and mintage - how soon?

[ady]

When do we now see Charlie on coins and which denominations?

[MickB]

Which country within the commonwealth will be the first to change to the new monarch or does the UK change first and others follow? 

[SidS]

2023 would be my expected guess.

[MickB]

I wonder if any country will issue firstly the Queen on coins then change part way through the year to Charles?

Australian news outlets have reported that our coins will start bearing King Charles III’s effigy from next year.

I would think that to be unusual in more modern times. I can't speak for Commonwealth countries.

Consider: Victoria, George V and George VI all died very early in the year. Yet the next monarch's coins did not appear until the year after (even Edward VIII was scheduled for 1937).

That's not to say it hasn't happened a little earlier in history.

Years straddling two monarch issues are:

1685, 1702, 1714, 1727 and 1820.

I'd think as it's September already, by the time the mourning period is over and the dies etc. are made, it'd be heading to 2023 anyway, might as well wait.

As an interesting side note, they've only just completed the BOE banknote redesign, the old paper £20 and £50 notes are still current until the end of this month. Not sure what they'll do there, start a redesign so soon or wait until the mid-20s?

Here is a suggested design we posted a few months ago:

At the time, there was some uncertainty about whether he would take the name King Charles III, or an alternative.

But will the RM use the Latin version of the name - CAROLVS III ??  After all, previously it was GEORGIVS VI.

Probably, but you never can tell!

I was thinking Deirdre.

Deirdre? - Dear Me!

One of my sisters had a dog called Deirdre, followed by Edna and Freya.

The alphabetical progression was deliberate.

On that basis Charles should be called Fred!

Pick you own wording:

Now where did we get that profile from?

Atkinsons, as in the dark as the rest of us:

On the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we are currently working with the Royal Mint to clarify the situation with stock and will update our website shortly

I’ve seen this in the news today as a mock up.

They might well be running with this design again for Camilla.

I wonder if they'll update the reverse designs at the same time or carry them over into the new reign?

Both has happened in the past.

The denomination should literally just state “PRICELESS”. 😆
