Information about legend: CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · F · D [year]

Translated from Latin, the legend means: Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King, Defender of the Faith.

This legend is displayed on the coinage of the United Kingdom issued during the reign of King Charles III. By a long standing tradition, British coinage uses the Latin language for the obverse legends. In a departure from tradition though, the name of the monarch is given as Charles and not in its Latinised form Carolus, as was the case of the two previous kings named Charles.

On coins listed below, the legend is displayed together with the date of issue on the obverse, while the face value is on the reverse. It was used for the first time like this on the new £1 (one pound) coin introduced in 2023.
