Collectors have spotted a 'hidden image' on new coins bearing King Charles III's portrait
Eagle-eyed collectors have noticed a 'hidden image' on new coins bearing King Charles III's portrait, which will soon replace coins with the late Queen Elizabeth II on.
Right by the King's ear, the shape of a small bird can be seen, according to collector specialists at Britannia Coin Company. He added: "I have no idea if Martin Jennings, the artist, intended to include this hidden image. If he did, I think it's clever and fitting acknowledgement of His Majesty's passion for wildlife and that he's listening to the plights our natural world faces."
David Gold, Royal Mail’s director of external affairs and policy, said they received guidance from the King to maintain “continuity” and Charles did not want existing stamp stocks showing the Queen pulped, but used up over time.
