00:31I'm really pleased to announce that the coins will enter circulation in the form of a memorial for the Lake
00:37Majesty on a 50 pence and people should see that in their changes from December this year.
00:42From January the 1st 2023, all new coins produced by the Royal Mint will bear the new King Charles effigy
00:49as from the 1st of January.
01:14So the Royal Mint has been going for over 1100 years. We trace our origins back to Alfred the Great
01:18and since that point we have been producing the coinage of the monarchy.
01:21For each successive monarch we produced a new coinage portrait and this what we're seeing today with the first definitive
01:28coinage effigy of Charles III is just a long line in those monarchs portraits that we produced over those years.
