Martin Jennings
British sculptor selected to design the first portrait of King Charles III on UK coinage. Jennings' portrait — the only modern UK monarch portrait to face left — debuted on a memorial £5 crown for Queen Elizabeth II in late 2022 and entered circulation through 2023 on 50p, £1 and £2 commemoratives. Following royal tradition, the portrait faces opposite to the previous monarch.
