Britain’s Royal Mail on Wednesday unveiled the first postage stamps to feature the image of King Charles III, following his ascension to the throne last September.
LONDON, United Kingdom –
The new so-called “definitive stamp” — intended for everyday use and consisting solely of the monarch’s head, the stamp’s value and a barcode — will go on general sale from April 4. British artist Arnold Machin created an effigy of the queen for decimal coinage in the 1960s, and then designed the definitive stamps bearing her image which became an iconic symbol of the UK around the world.
