The king's portrait(based on a photo taken in 2013) will appear on all four banknotes issued by the Bank of England — 5, 10, 20 and 50 pounds — with no other alterations to the existing designs. King Charles III is only the second monarch to appear on these notes, with Queen Elizabeth II first featuring in 1960. Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, referred to the release of bank notes bearing the king's image as a "historic moment" considering the longevity of the late queen's reign. The king's mother, Queen Elizabeth II, ruled the United Kingdom for nearly 71 years(70 years and 214 days).
