The Royal Mint strike first coins of King Charles III | The Royal Mint

The Royal Mint, the official maker of UK coins, has started production of circulating coins featuring the portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. The first coin to appear in the public’s change will be a memorial 50 pence commemorating the life and legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The official portrait of King Charles III was created by acclaimed British artist Martin Jennings. He officially started production of the new coins at The Royal Mint’s site in Llantrisant. The coins will begin appearing in the public’s change via banks and post offices from December, beginning the transition from Queen Elizabeth II to King Charles III’s effigy on the nation’s coinage.

So that's why the BU ones even have little scratches... just poured into a bucket, nice

[@stevenedwardson4195]

The circulation coins get poured into a bucket but BU coins get stamped separately and carefully taken care of I think.

I wonder if they will have milk spots like the rest of them?🤦‍♂️
