New £1 Coin Bearing King Charles III's Official Coin Portrait Enters Circulation in the UK

The first £1 coin bearing King Charles III’s official coin portrait is now entering circulation in the United Kingdom.

The Royal Mint announced Aug.20 that 2.975 million of the £1 coins were being issued to post offices and banks across the UK.

The coin is part of King Charles III’s new definitive collection, which carries one of eight new designs, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles, that will appear on coins.

The reverse of the new £1 coin depicts British bees. The whole suite of designs, from the penny to the £2 coin, feature such animals as the Hazel dormouse, puffin and the Atlantic salmon — all species in active conservation programs — were unveiled in October 2023, highlighting King Charles III’s passion for conservation.

The number indicating the value of each coin is enlarged, to help children understand the value of money.

Unifying the new coins is a unique repeating pattern featuring three interlocking C’s. This aspect of the design takes its inspiration from history and the cypher of Charles II, while the flora and fauna look to the future and the importance of the natural world.

Following the reveal of the designs, production of the coins began with several million struck by the Royal Mint in South Wales.

The Atlantic salmon 50-penny coin carried the first of the eight designs to enter circulation, at the end of 2023.

英国王立造幣局が主催した投票では、1ポンド硬貨の蜂のデザインが全8枚の硬貨のデザインの中で最も人気があり、赤リスを描いた2ペニー硬貨が僅差で2位に続きました。 3,000 人近くがお気に入りのデザインに投票し、1 ポンド硬貨が投票のほぼ 30% を占めました。
