After 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II has become an integral part of everyday life in Britain. In the UK, the queen’s portrait and coat of arms can be seen in many places, including postage stamps, loose change and boxes of breakfast cereal.
–
currency exchange
All 29 billion coins currently in circulation in the UK feature the Queen’s face. The most recent design dates back to 2015, when the queen was 88 years old. It is also the fifth edition of the coin face design during the queen’s reign.
–
The Royal Mint will not reveal when and how they will start issuing coins bearing the image of Charles III. But the Queen’s coin will likely remain in circulation for many years before being gradually replaced.

The first banknote to feature the Queen’s portrait was the £ 1 banknote issued in 1960
–
In 1971, all British coins were updated to the decimal and before then it was quite common to find coins with different heads of monarchs.
–
While we don’t know what the face of the new king’s coin will look like, a coin released by the Royal Mint in 2018 to commemorate Charles’s 70th birthday could give us a clue.
–
But one thing seems certain, King Charles’s head will be turned the other way: to the left. The British tradition dictates that after each new monarch ascends the throne, the face of the monarch’s head on the coin should be in the opposite direction to the previous one, so as to alternate between them.
–
Once approved, the new design will be manufactured at the Royal Mint in Lanticent in South Wales.
–
Since 1960, the Queen has appeared on all banknotes issued by the Bank of England (except those issued by the Bank of Scotland and Northern Ireland). There are currently around 4.5 billion banknotes issued by the Bank of England in circulation, worth £ 80 billion, and like the coins, these will gradually be replaced.
–
All banknotes and coins will be legal tender. The Bank of England will give sufficient notice prior to the change.
–
Postage stamps and mailboxes
Since 1967, the profile of Queen Elizabeth II has been embossed on all stamps issued by the Royal Mail.
–
The Royal Mail will now stop printing Queen Elizabeth II stamps – but they can still be used for letters and parcels – and start a new stamp production process.

The new king has already appeared on the stamps
–
Charles III has already appeared on postage stamps, but the Royal Mail has yet to reveal what a postage stamp design featuring the new king will look like.
–
In addition to the new king appearing on postage stamps, the Royal Mail will also replace the royal insignia (also known as the emblem, royal figures) on many letterboxes.
–
Of the 115,000 mailboxes (or mailboxes) in the UK, 60% bear the Elizabeth II EIIR logo, E represents Elizabeth’s initials (Elizabeth) and R represents Regina, which means the Queen. In Scotland, mailboxes carry the Scottish crown.
–
But outside of Scotland, all new mailboxes will now use the king’s sign, but because the number of new mailboxes installed is so low, it may take a while for those new mailboxes to be discovered.
–
Royal certified mark
In the UK, from ketchup to scented cereal packets, you may see something like “Royal Warrant” or “By appointment with Her Majesty the Queen” on some mess or other items in your home. The words are accompanied by the royal coat of arms. These are Royal Certified products, which means that the company making the product regularly supplies the British Royal Family.

Real certified product
–
In the last century or so, monarchs, as well as their spouses and heirs, have issued their own trademarks of Royal Warrants – they themselves are grantors – and there are currently around 800 companies holding 900 Royal Warrants (products).
–
When the grantor dies, the royal mandate signed by him also expires and the grantor company has 2 years to stop using the royal coat of arms. (One exception is that the Queen Mother’s royal mandate does not expire until 5 years after her death.)
–
Despite becoming king, the royal mandate issued by Charles as Prince of Wales will remain in effect because the royal mandates follow the royal family, not the title.
–
The new king should grant his son, heir to the throne, Prince William, the power to issue his own royal seal.
–
The passport is still valid
It’s not just real coins, stamps, and warrants that need updating.
–
All British passports are issued by Her Majesty and will remain valid for travel, but the words inside the cover of the new passports will be updated to read Her Majesty, Her Majesty.
–
The police forces of England and Wales will also change the royal emblem of Queen Elizabeth II in the center of their helmets.
–
Monarch-appointed attorneys and attorneys will be renamed from Queen’s Counsel to King’s Counsel, both translated into Chinese as Queen’s Counsel, effective immediately.
–
Finally, Charles was officially proclaimed king in a ceremony on the balcony of St James’s Palace in London, with the announcers chanting “God bless the king”.
–
The lyrics of the British national anthem also changed “God Save the Queen” to “God Save the King”.
–
This is the first time since 1952 that the text of the British national anthem has been changed from “God Bless the Queen” to “God Bless the King”.
