The nuptials of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have sparked global gossip, plenty of press, and must-have trinkets that celebrate the special day. To honor this international affair, the British Royal Mint has issued a limited edition silver coin with the couple’s photo. Make the royal wedding one to remember with this once-in-a-lifetime piece; for coin collectors seeking attractive appraisals, it’s truly one for the record books. Here’s some helpful know-how on the royal wedding coin.

A Lifelong Legacy

This wedding is a worldwide celebration, as Prince Henry of Wales weds American actress Meghan Markle. The ceremony is set to occur at Windsor’s historic St. George’s Chapel on May 19, 2018, with the celebratory coin’s design seen as warm, loving, and authentic—what the Royal Mint deems “a modern design that befits a modern romance.” It has gained the official approval of Buckingham Palace, and is set to celebrate the special day for generations to come.

An Attractive Wedding Coin

This silver, five-pound coin is highly attractive to coin collectors, with only 2,018 sterling silver pieces produced, 15,000 in silver proof, and a limited number of just 850 elegant gold coins. Its uncirculated status and limited number make the value skyrocket, and you can discover even more limited editions online. Each coin features the May 19 wedding date with a unique design the couple helped create; their engraved photo was fashioned during a private sitting at Kensington palace. 

As the coin becomes more rare over time, appraisals will be on the rise; this is one piece that international collectors want to get their hands on, especially if you can snag the highly-limited gold edition. Coin collector or not, however, there’s no better way to celebrate the newest Royal Couple’s love and devotion than with a beautiful, limited-edition piece. Once the nuptials take place, the pair is set to take their place as Britain’s next Royal power couple.
