2023 King Charles III First Issues

The complete set of Non-Value Indicated (NVI) and international Tariff definitive stamps featuring the new portrait of His Majesty King Charles III.

The King’s effigy is an adapted version of the portrait created by Martin Jennings for the UK’s new coinage. The use of the coin image is a continuation of a long tradition dating back to the creation of the Penny Black in 1840.

Printed gravure by Cartor Security Printers.

To minimize environmental impact and cost, existing stock of the retained rates £3.25 and £4.20 with the late Queen’s effigy will continue to circulate and be valid for postage.
