British King Charles is expected to be featured on banknotes starting in mid-2024, the Bank of England announced Tuesday.
The portrait of Charles that will appear on the coin will be unveiled at the end of this year. No further changes will be made to the £ 5, 10, 20 and 50 banknotes.

Queen Elizabeth has been featured on British banknotes since 1960. These banknotes simply remain legal tender. They will not be withdrawn from circulation until they are “worn or damaged,” the Bank of England says.

The monogram of the new British king was also unveiled on Monday. The logo will be featured on government buildings, state documents and letterboxes, among others. According to British media, Queen Elizabeth’s current monogram will be replaced in the coming months and years.

The logo is made up of the letters C (for Carlo) and R (for rex, the Latin word for re). Also says ‘III’, for King Charles III. For the past seventy years, the monogram has been “EIIR”, for Queen Elizabeth II. The monarch himself approved the project.
