The Falkland Islands and St Helena are the only 2 territories with 12-sided pound coins currently, and neither uses the portrait on the UK ones. Gibraltar is supposedly switching to the new pound this year too, and they use an extremely similar portrait of Charles to ours, so if/when Bees become common you might need to check the reverse of any King pound coins
