A leftward view of money

As we pass from the Elizabethan era to the Carolean there will be a few changes to the Monarch’s view on money.

The Queen faced right on her coins which is part of a tradition which has lasted for over 300 years. Each King or Queen faces in the opposite direction to the one before. The Queen’s father George VI faced left on his coins so Elizabeth II faced right and King Charles will face left.

Thank you to the Royal Mint Museum for this trivia,
