The Canadian Mint in Winnipeg has released images of the latest Canadian coin set, now featuring the face of King Charles III.

It's a profile of the left side of the King's face, with him wearing a shirt, tie, and no crown.

 The design announcement comes on his 75th birthday.

His face on the coins replaces the image of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth the Second.

The mint says it has started the design process to put the King on the 20-dollar bill, but it will likely be years before it's issued.
