The Cypher of King Charles III

 

The Cypher of King Charles III has been revealed, personally chosen by the King, from a range of designs produced by the College of Arms.

 

The monogram combines his initial C and R for Rex, the Latin for King, plus  III for the third King Charles.

The cypher, a visual identity for the new reign, replaces the E II R of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Bank of England says new banknotes featuring a portrait of King Charles III are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024, with the image to be revealed before the end of this year.

 New coins will also be produced, according to Royal Mint, and will appear in line with demand from banks and post offices.

Royal Mail says that new stamps featuring King Charles will enter circulation once current stocks of stamps are exhausted.
