| King Charles is now on the toonie |
Earlier this week we happened to get our hands on the new C$2 coins nicknamed toonies with King Charles III side portrait.
It is the first time in 70 years that Canadian currency has a new monarch since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
Montreal-based portrait artist Steven Rosati was chosen from submissions by 350 artists. He is only the third Canadian artist to design the royal effigy for Canada's coinage since 1990.
The design was sent to Buckingham Palace for approval.
Meanwhile new notes with King Charles' effigy have yet to be unveiled let alone circulated.
So in the meantime we'll just have have him as small change!
