Royal Mint unveils first coins featuring King Charles III

Britain's Royal Mint has presented the first coins with a portrait of King Charles III. Britons will begin to see Charles' image on their change in December, as 50-pence coins depicting him enter circulation.

In keeping with tradition, the king's portrait faces to the left — the opposite direction to his mother's, Queen Elizabeth II.

Charles is depicted without a crown. A Latin inscription surrounding the portrait translates to "King Charles III, by the Grace of God, Defender of the Faith."
