King Charles on new Brit note
LONDON, Engl. (CNN) - We're getting a first look at the banknotes featuring Britain's King Charles III.
They were unveiled by the Bank of England Tuesday.
King Charles III is only the second monarch to be featured on British banknotes.
The portrait will appear on the five, 10, 20 and 50 pound notes.
The rest of the design will remain the same as the current notes featuring the late Queen Elizabeth the second on the front.
Her son became king after she died in September at age 96.
The new banknotes are expected to enter circulation by mid-2024 and will mingle with notes featuring the queen's portrait, which will remain legal tender.
The Bank of England says the new notes will only be printed to replace worn banknotes and meet any overall increase in demand.
