Popular Post jtryka Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 It may not be news which directly impacts most of us, but since her image adorned billions of coins and notes for the past 70 years, it's certainly a historic day. Charles is now King, presumably Charles III but it will likely be another year or so until his coronation and perhaps a couple years before his image graces any coins.

Member: Seasoned Veteran Popular Post DWLange Posted September 8, 2022 Member: Seasoned Veteran Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 Elizabeth II was queen longer than I've been alive, and that's quite a reign. At 96 she wasn't exactly cut down in her prime, but it's still a time of reflection. As a collector of British coins (no decimals, please) I have some really nice examples of her early coinage.

Modwriter Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I have noticed Queen Elizabeth's portrait has changed through the years. I have sold several QEII British Commonwealth coins in the past and now have only Canadian coins. Quintus Arrius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the last was never used in the U.K., but was used at least in Australia. Modwriter and Quintus Arrius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t release them until the current year, many times at January F.U.N. Having 2023 coins delivered in September 2022 is obscene.

Fenntucky Mike Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Neither Charles or William are good candidates for attractive portraits on coinage. That's already been proven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps just leave QEII as currently depicted, update the text and have Charles III's portrait off to the side as a miniscule privy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal Mint has had 2023 coins available to purchase for sometime, you still can but they seem to be experiencing heavy web traffic currently.

I think there is enough time remaining in 2022 so that it would be possible for all actual circulating 2023 coins to depict Charles III if such a thing can be done pre-Coronation by tradition. The Coronation will probably be in the Spring. The new technology of coin creation makes it trivially easy for all 2023 circulating coinage to be Charles III.
