This definitive stamp features the first portrait of His Majesty King Charles III intended for philatelic use. The simple, unadorned profile faces left, continuing a tradition for British monarchs. The design, by Martin Jennings, maintains the classic simplicity of the Machin series it succeeds.

Issued following the accession of King Charles III, this stamp marks a new reign in British postal history, replacing the iconic image of Queen Elizabeth II that had been in use for over 70 years.
