Royal fans and coin collectors will be able to purchase this beauty on The Royal Mint’s official website. The price ranges from 13 to 500 British pounds.

When Prince George came into this world, on July 22 of 2013, the royal baby boom swept the nation with thousands of people traveling across the world to catch a glimpse of the future King. Special coins were also released to mark the birth of the Prince, as well as his first and second birthdays.

Other coins

The Royal Mint often releases coins to commemorate special occasions in the royal family’s life, including the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding, and the Queen and Prince Philip’s platinum wedding anniversary.
