A seemingly ordinary night in took an unexpected turn when His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales got down on one knee, ring in hand, with a special question to ask. Shocked and delighted, Meghan didn’t let him finish, accepting his proposal immediately. Now, as the couple are about to take their vows at St George’s Chapel in Windsor in the company of guests from all over the world, The Royal Mint is delighted to release this special commemorative £5 coin.
The crown is a coin traditionally associated with marking royal occasions. Captured in proof finish, this 22 carat gold coin features an original portrait by Royal Mint coin designer Jody Clark. Granted a sitting with Prince Harry and Meghan at Kensington Palace , the portrait captures the relaxed intimacy between the royal couple. Approved by Buckingham Palace, it’s the perfect way to save the date and share memories of the big day
