King Charles III is getting the royal treatment when it comes to coins.
The British monarch, who assumed the throne when his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, died in September, is now commemorated in coins issued by the Royal Mint, the official maker of UK coins. The fifty pence coin went into circulation earlier this month, and other coins are being released in the new year.
But the Royal Mint isn’t just about paying homage to, well, royalty. Its newly announced 2023 commemorative set does include a special five pound coin in celebration of King Charles’ 75th birthday, but it also features coins honoring British author J.R.R. Tolkien and the 100th anniversary of the passenger train known as the Flying Scotsman.
