**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE** Prince Charles love of nature is to be celebrated on new U.K. coins featuring some of Britains best-loved flora and fauna. The Royal Mint has revealed eight new coin designs that will soon grace official UK currency, spanning from the 1p piece to the revered £2 coin. These new coin designs, officially referred to as definitives, represent the final step in King Charles III's transformation onto British coinage. They will replace the long-standing shield formation introduced during Queen Elizabeth II's reign in 2008. A distinctive, recurring pattern featuring three interlocking C's unites these coin designs. This particular element draws from historical symbolism, echoing the cypher of Charles II. However, the incorporation of indigenous flora and fauna points towards the future and emphasizes the significance of nature conservation. The edge inscription on the new £2 coin, "IN SERVITIO OMNIUM," translating to "In the service of all" in Latin, was chosen by His Majesty and originated from the King's inaugural speech on September 9, 2022. Anne Jessopp, Chief Executive Officer of The Royal Mint, expressed, "This marks a rare and historic occasion as the complete set of UK coins undergoes a transformation to honor a new monarch. The striking designs, personally approved by His Majesty, reflect his commitment to conservation and the natural world while celebrating British craftsmanship." She continued: "The Royal Mint has been minting Britain's coins for over a millennium and this collection will take its place among the designs of monarchs ranging from Alfred the Great to Elizabeth II. The unique pattern of interlocking C's graces each of the new designs, paying homage to history through Charles II's cypher and celebrating King Charles III's dedication to conservation." This marks the first time that all eight coins collectively celebrate nature and wildlife. Gordon Summers, Chief Engraver at The Royal Mint said, It is a privilege to work on the official coins of the nation and to ensure we reflect The King and Britain through our designs. It takes a great deal of skill to create art on a canvas as small as a 1p or £1 coin. The Royal Mint has honed our expertise over 1,100 years and we cant wait to see the new coins in the hands of the nation. The coins include a 1p featuring a hazel dormouse, a 2p with a red squirrel, a 5p with an oak tree leaf, a 10p with a capercaillie (a Scottish grouse), a 20p featuring a puffin, a 50p featuring the Atlantic salmon, a £1 coin featuring bees, and a £2 featuring the U.K.'s national flowers.
