UK Will Introduce King Charles Stamps And Banknotes in Mid-2024
The portrait of King Charles III. is expected to appear on banknotes in mid-2024, the Bank of England announced on Tuesday.
The image of the new monarch to be used on the new banknotes will be announced by the end of the year, according to the bank.
“Her Majesty’s portrait will appear on the existing designs of the four polymer banknotes,” the statement said. “It will be a continuation of the current Polymer series and there will be no other changes to the ticket designs.”
King Charles appears on £5, £10, £20, and £50 notes. In the meantime, no further changes will be made to the banknotes, the bank’s statement said.
Queen Elizabeth, who died at the age of 96 after reigning as monarch for 70 years, has appeared on British banknotes since 1960, eight years after acceding to the throne in 1952.
