London: The Royal Mint has unveiled the new £5 coin which was designed in celebration of the new Princess of Cambridge’s birth, a total of 500 gold coins and 9,500 silver coins are produced to commemorate the arrival of the baby daughter of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge.
John Bergdahl has designed the limited-edition pieces, and he was also the artist behind the commemorative coins which were minted for Prince George’s birth in 2013. “It is only fitting that we commemorate this new addition to the Royal Family with the release of a special coin, just as we celebrated the arrival of Prince George,” Royal Mint’s Shane Bissett said.
In addition to the £5 coin, the Royal Mint has also produced 2015 silver pennies which will be given to babies born on the same day as the princess.
