After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the country entered a period of mourning - but also a period of change. Some of these changes will be smaller and make everyday items we take for granted suddenly very unfamiliar.
Coins and stamps will bear the face of a king for the first time in 70 years, and post boxes will be replaced with ones marked with King Charles ’ royal cypher. The cypher will read ‘CR’ and stands for Charles Rex, which means king in Latin.
The King revealed his cypher at his Accession Council meeting on Saturday, September 10, which formally declared him king. He can be seen wearing a tie pin bearing the letters CR underneath a depiction of the crown.
