These specially commissioned portraits, some of which were created at the request of The Royal Mint, were made at either Clarence House, Buckingham Palace or Birkhall on the Balmoral Estate.
A number of them have been added to the permanent archive of The Royal Collection, housed at Windsor Castle.
Canada chose the portrait of Prince Charles to appear on the country's first definitive postage stamp of the new monarch.

“The latest Canadian stamp to feature the sovereign was created by Paprika, a marketing firm in Montreal that's no stranger to the postal service. The studio took a straightforward approach: elegant text and a black and white photograph of Charles shot by Alan Shawcross several years ago. Shawcross's portfolio is impressive. A fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, he has worked with many merry Windsors, as well as the king of Bahrain, the president of Egypt, and the princely family of Lichtenstein. He's also a talent when it comes to conceptual work, stills, and street life. What he's not, unfortunately, is Canadian.”
