So, bang goes my confident forecast that we would see no 2022 dated King Charles III coins!

Well, you still have a chance if they manage to not post them before the end of the year!

To be honest, I'm looking forward to the new Charles coins. It's been a long and boring 30 years of all Lizzie coins. Gosh it got to the point where I was excited (maybe not) to see Machin coins in circulation.

I miss the days of co-circulating monarchs, back to how it should be.

Hope inflation staves off a bit, so that the William V coins when they arrive in the 2040s-50s can enter circulation with the current stock - whatever's still left, if we even still have physical currency.

Whilst were on the topic of 2023 coins, I read something the other day that said the £1 coins were due for an overhaul and refresh in 2023 - this was before the Queen's demise.

Woo KCIII NGC labels!!!!

So what's out monday? just had to fix the car so terrible timing

I'm really drawn to the 50p design - the 1953 coronation crown design looks surprisingly nice on the 50p shape. 

I think someone said before about the jubilee 50p being a nice bookend to have this year, I could see this pair - the platinum jubilee and the inaugural Charles III coin looking nice together in a two coin NGC or PCGS holder such as the below. Especially if there is a nice commemorative label that can be associated with it.

No, they will probably bang them out early and fast.

Which means @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer might have to wait longer for their next 30,000 silver Britannias, 2,000 gold Britannias, and 5,000 gold sovereigns!

I don’t think they could have depicted Charles any better.

So now those coins are dated 2022 it will be the year that two monarchs feature on coins.

I wonder when we’ll see the first banknotes with Charles III.

New pound banknotes featuring a portrait of King Charles III will be presented by the end of the year and will enter circulation by mid-2024, the Bank of England said Tuesday. "His Majesty's portrait will appear on existing designs of all four polymer banknotes,” the statement said

Mid 2024 according to the news.

 

Lawrence posted it a second before me!

I prefer our version:

Especially the great looking yellow colour instead of the awful red / orange / copper!

Even @Paul would not be able to fit these in his safety deposit box.

Shame they did not do a gothic gold twin slab. 

[MrStacker]

Promising design. I’m hoping it’ll grow on me. Queues are to be expected hopefully I can get at least one coin.

 

Right then time to pack up my essentials for a very long Monday ahead!

That gives me a great idea: 

2023 gold sovereigns in two different colours

1) Copper red / pink

2) Golden yellow

Would look great in a twin pack!

The RM have a good opportunity for the 2023 sovereign to change back to the ‘yellow’ gold with the new Charles portrait.

If ever there was a time to change, this would be it, but I doubt they will.

What seems even stranger is that there will be some 2023 coins with the Queen on and some 2022 coins with the King on! (albeit not in circulation)

That makes them all seem very desirable, but I hope it doesn't prevent the £2 restrike sets being launched this year!
