The 74-year-old king is shown in profile, without wearing his crown, making him the first British monarch to appear without his crown.
“The feedback we received (s.s. from Karolos) was that he wanted it to be simple. It’s a very human image, without embellishment,” said the director of external affairs at Royal Mail.
He added: “What sets this stamp apart is that there is no adornment, no crown, just the face and the human figure, on a plain background, as if to say: ‘This is me and I am at your service.’ I think in this modern age, it’s very humbling.”
