The first sovereign portrait of the new reign was created by sculptor \u003cstrong\u003eMartin Jennings FRSS\u003c\/strong\u003e — best known outside numismatics for his public sculptures of Philip Larkin in Hull and John Betjeman in St Pancras station. His portrait of King Charles III, selected through a rigorous competitive process, introduced the Carolean era on British coinage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJennings' portrait — uncrowned, as is the convention for male monarchs on British coinage — faces left, following the centuries-old tradition of alternating portrait directions.

It was first used on the \u003cstrong\u003e2022 Memorial sovereign\u003c\/strong\u003e series and has been the definitive portrait for all subsequent sovereign issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Most Important Modern Sovereign Transition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor collectors, the beginning of a new reign represents the most significant numismatic event in a generation. The 2022 Memorial series carries dual historical weight: it is simultaneously the last sovereign of the Elizabethan era and the first of the Carolean — the only coins to exist at the exact hinge point of two reigns. The first-year-of-reign type is one of the most consistently valued categories in numismatics, and the 2022 Memorial sovereign in PF70 is already established as a key date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2023 Coronation sovereign\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces a second obverse type unique to the Carolean era: a \u003cem\u003ecrowned\u003c\/em\u003e portrait of King Charles III, created for the Coronation series and never to be repeated on any other sovereign. It is the only sovereign in the entire series to show the King wearing the crown.
