In commemoration of the marriage of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, the Royal Mint has been authorised to strike a commemorative coin.

A maximum of only 250,000 coins will be issued in sterling silver in proof quality for worldwide distribution.

The reverse of the coin features the profiles of The Prince of Wales and lady Diana Spencer in a contemporary and informal portrayal.  The design was prepared by Philip Nathan, a former Royal Mint engraver.  His initials "PN" can be seen just below the portrait of Prince Charles.

The design on the obverse is the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II created by Arnold Machin.  The obverse design has been depicted on nearly all United Kingdom coinage since 1968.

The proof coin is struck in sterling silver, measures 38.61 mm in diameter and weighs 28.28 grammes.

A quality piece for the collector of the Silver Proof Crowns, which is getting harder to find.  Proof coins are minted using highly polished dies and blanks, and double pressed to give the crisp frosted finish in the design,set upon a mirror background

Housed in an original screw fit capsule and presented in the Royal Mint Case of issue with Certificate of authenticity.
