Charles III, the King of New Zealand, succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, as sovereign immediately upon her death on 8 September 2022. To commemorate the accession of the King, this stamp issue featured four recent portraits.
For almost 1,000 years, each monarch of Britain, and later New Zealand, has been crowned in a special ceremony months after their accession. A coronation is an important day in the history of the nation, a vibrant shared experience for the public, and an occasion of deep personal significance in the life of the monarch. Featuring portraits of the King and Queen, four stamps were issued.
On 7 May, a commemorative sheetlet was also issued featuring seven images from the coronation.
Coins commemorating the coronation of King Charles III were also issued in May. Click here to view the products available.
