New coins featuring King Charles III have been unveiled by the Royal Mint.
The King’s portrait will appear on 50p coins from around December, as currency featuring the new head of the Royal Family gradually enters circulation.
But aside from there being a new monarch, there is another key change coin collectors will notice.
The coins follow centuries of tradition with King Charles III now facing left - the opposite way to Queen Elizabeth II.
As with previous British kings, and unlike the Queen, he isn't wearing a crown.
The King's effigy has been created by sculptor Martin Jennings and was personally approved by Charles, the Mint said.
The Latin inscription surrounding the effigy reads: ":: CHARLES III :: D :: G :: REX :: F :: D :: 5 POUNDS :: 2022" which translates to: "King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith."
The reverse of the 50p features a design that originally appeared on the 1953 Coronation Crown.
It was struck to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's coronation at Westminster Abbey, and includes the four quarters of the Royal Arms depicted within a shield.
In between each shield is an emblem of the home nations; a rose, a thistle, a shamrock and a leek.
From the start of next year, coins from the 1p to the £2 will be minted carrying the same image of King Charles III.
All UK coins bearing the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II will remain legal tender and in active circulation - meaning you can still spend them in shops.
There are around 27 billion coins currently circulating in the UK bearing the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
These will be replaced over time as they become damaged or worn and to meet demand for additional coins.
Anne Jessopp, chief executive officer of the Royal Mint, said: "The Royal Mint has been trusted to make coins bearing the monarch's effigy for over 1,100 years and we are proud to continue this tradition into the reign of King Charles III.
"Although technology has progressed, we continue to honour British craftsmanship passed down through the centuries."
She added: "To ensure everyone can hold a piece of history in their hand, the 50p will also enter circulation in the UK."
Separately, the Royal Mint is also releasing a commemorative coin range on Monday, to mark the life and legacy of the late Queen.
The set will include a £5 Crown, which will feature two new portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, one in her younger years and the other “more mature”.
The design was created by artist John Bergdahl in collaboration with the Royal Mint.
Dr Kevin Clancy, director of the Royal Mint Museum, said: "Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has graced more coins than any other British monarch in a reign that lasted for 70 years.
"As we move from the Elizabethan to the Carolean era it represents the biggest change to Britain's coinage in decades, and the first time that many people will have seen a different effigy.
"Over the coming years it will become common for people to find coins bearing His Majesty and Queen Elizabeth II's effigy in their change, engaging new generations in the story of Britain's Royal Family."
