COMMONWEALTH MEMBERS THAT ARE REPUBLICS

Will any of their collector coins portray Charles III?

In the past, some Commonwealth countries that are republics issued various collector coins that portrayed Elizabeth II on the obverse. I have not included all the countries here, and I do not know how many issued them. Of the countries whose collector coins are shown above, Nauru is the only one that does not issue its own circulation coinage - it uses the Australian dollar instead.

It will be interesting to see whether any of the Commonwealth countries that are republics issue any collector coins portraying Charles III. So far Samoa has issued - or will issue - a collector coin for the Coronation. Will that be the only Samoan collector issue that portrays Charles III?

STAMPS

I've just been looking at the stamps.

The UK always includes a small or large royal effigy on its stamps.

The stamps of the crown dependencies always include either a royal effigy or a royal cypher.

The stamps of the Commonwealth realms do not standardly include a royal effigy or a royal cypher.

The Solomon Islands used to include one until recent years, but I believe that has ceased now.
I can't find most of their most recent stamps online (2022 and 2023).

There is news regarding ECCB. Scottsdale Mint recently started releasing their EC8 coin series dated 2023. The 2022 coins had portrait of QE2. This year's coins show the ECCB logo instead.
