The Royal Mint has released the final batch of £1 coins featuring Queen Elizabeth II into UK circulation, marking the end of an era in British coinage. These 2022-dated coins arrive alongside King Charles III’s first 2025-dated £1 coins, which continue the nature-themed Definitive series introduced in 2023. The King’s coin features a bee design, reflecting his environmental values. With over 23 million Queen coins and 7.5 million King coins entering circulation, collectors and the public alike are encouraged to check their change. Both coins remain legal tender, symbolizing a smooth transition between monarchs in everyday currency.
