London CNN —Slicked-back hair, a leather jacket, a cross dangling from his ear and his trademark aviator sunglasses. This is how many of George Michael’s fans remember the late, great singer—and his image has now been immortalized just so on a new collectible coin issued by Britain’s Royal Mint. The design of the coin pays tribute to the late singer’s second solo hit single, “Faith,” according to the Royal Mint. In a statement published online, the mint, which is the official producer of Britain’s coins, said the George Michael coin is the latest addition to its Music Legends series. Welcoming the coins’ creation, a statement from George Michael Entertainment included in the media release said: “On behalf of George Michael, we are deeply honored that the Royal Mint is paying tribute to him by creating a series of beautifully crafted coins.

King Charles III bank note designs unveiled
  + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +1 min
The Bank of England unveiled its first bank notes featuring King Charles III on Tuesday, which will enter into circulation from the middle of 2024 to gradually replace those featuring his mother Queen Elizabeth II. Charles became king in September following the queen's death after 70 years on the throne. The new five, 10, 20 and 50 pound polymer bank notes feature a portrait of Charles on the front, as well as a cameo of him in the bank notes’ see-through security window, but are otherwise unchanged from their current designs. The queen first appeared on BoE bank notes in 1960, in contrast to British coins which have long featured images of the country’s rulers. Britain’s Royal Mint began issuing the first coins featuring Charles’s profile into general circulation on Dec. 8.
