King Charles III Machin Definitive, 1st Class
United Kingdom · 2023 · 1st Class
This definitive stamp features a left-facing portrait of King Charles III, adapted from the official coinage effigy by Martin Jennings. The design maintains the classic simplicity of the Machin series, with a plain colored background and the denomination in the upper right corner. This is the first definitive stamp series to feature King Charles III.
Issued in 2023, this stamp marks the first major philatelic transition of the new Carolean era, replacing the iconic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that had been in use for over 70 years.
