Unveiling of King Charles III banknotes

• The Bank of England revealed its first bank notes picturing King Charles III.
• They will replace his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s notes by 2024.
• Charles became king, after Queen’s death.

The Bank of England revealed its first bank notes picturing King Charles III on Tuesday. They will replace his mother Queen Elizabeth II’s notes by 2024.

After the queen’s death in September, Charles became king.

The new five, 10, 20, and 50-pound polymer bank notes have a portrait of Charles on the front and a cameo of him in the see-through security window.

The King is the second monarch to appear on BoE banknotes, Governor Andrew Bailey remarked.

The Queen first appeared on BoE banknotes in 1960, but British coinage has historically portrayed rulers.

Britain’s Royal Mint issued Charles’s first coins on Dec. 8.
