His predecessor King George V had faced to the left in coinage, meaning Edward should have faced right, but he didn’t think this was his best side.
Coinage was created with portraits of the King facing to the left, although these didn’t enter circulation.
Chris Barker from the Royal Mint Museum told PA: “Charles has followed that general tradition that we have in British coinage, going all the way back to Charles II actually, that the monarch faces in the opposite direction to their predecessor.”
He added that Charles’ portrait is “dignified and graceful, which reflects his years of service.”
