This definitive stamp features the uncrowned portrait of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings. The simple, unadorned profile faces left, continuing a tradition for British monarchs on stamps. This stamp is used for the 'Special Delivery Guaranteed' postal service, indicating a high-value, tracked service rather than a specific monetary denomination.

Issued in 2023, this is the first definitive stamp series of King Charles III's reign, replacing the iconic Machin definitive series featuring his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, which was in use for over 50 years.
