#KingCharles new 5p recognises oak trees like the #500yearold #BrimmonOak that we saved before it went on to win #woodlandtrust UK Tree of the Year 2016. It became the most successful UK by coming runner-up in the #european #treeoftheyear contest in 2017.

The 5p, bearing the King’s head and an oak leaf, follows the earlier release of new £1 and 50p coins.
