A HIDDEN image has been spotted in new coins featuring King Charles.

A fifty pence piece featuring the monarch has been unveiled - and eagle-eyed Brits claim to have spotted a secret image on it.

For those who missed it, King Charles III has what appears to be a bird at the front of his ear. 

Spotted by collector specialists at Britannia Coin Company, the feature is visible on the new range of King Charles III coins being released to the UK. And it's not an error - as the same shape can be identified in photos of His Majesty.

Director Jon White said: "Once you've seen the bird on King Charles' ear, you'll zero-in on it every time you see one of his coins and I suspect you'll never un-see it!

"I have no idea if Martin Jennings, the artist, intended to include this hidden image. If he did, I think it's clever and fitting acknowledgement of His Majesty's passion for wildlife and that he's listening to the plights our natural world faces.
