King Charles’ official monogram released
King Charles’ official monogram has been released as his mother Queen Elizabeth’s mourning period comes to an end.
The royal cypher shows the King’s initial “C” intertwined with the letter “R” for Rex - Latin for King.
There is also a crown and the Roman numerals III to show King Charles’ full title.
King Charles picked the specific design for his official Royal cypher from a number of other options prepared by the College of Arms.
The new cypher will appear on government buildings, state documents and on some post boxes.
The Bank of England says new bank notes featuring King Charles III will begin their circulation by the middle of next year.
The Royal Mint also announced that new coins will be produced but no date has been given yet.
Despite this, all existing banknotes and coins will remain as legal tender, with notes of Charles and Elizabeth being used alongside each other.
The new stamps featuring King Charles III will “enter circulation once current stocks of stamps are exhausted”.
However, the Royal Mail has announced that four memorial stamps of Queen Elizabeth II taken at different stages of her reign will be released in November.
