For royalty watchers and expectant parents alike, this coin is an original baby shower gift!
When H.R.H. Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton met while studying at the University of St Andrews in 2001, little did they know that they would become the world's most popular bride and groom. Indeed, their runaway popularity was confirmed when thousands of people filled the streets of London and millions tuned in to watch their wedding on April 29, 2011.
And now, onward to the next exciting step in a young couple's life—the arrival of their first-born. The announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby in July 2013 threw their adoring public into a frenzy, eager for the exact date and news whether it will be a boy or a girl, and what its name will be. Either way, the royal infant will be third in line to the throne and its birth will be celebrated with all the ceremony befitting a new member of the Canadian Royal Family; and the first to usher in a new generation of royals for the 21st century.

My grandchildren will not remember the Significance of this coin because there is no reference to Prince George. Please notify me if another coin is made,with The Princes name on it.

The idea of a designated quality silver coin is a very good idea but it should say on the coin who it't for. This one doesn't. I purchased these coins for my grand children. unless their reminded who it was for, when they get older they wont know.Nothing on the coin indicates Prince George.Very disapointing.

This was a gift for my mum. She had been a long-time collector and had to sell a large portion of her collection last year. When I saw this unique coin come out, I knew it should be the start of rebuilding her collection. It is a truly awesome piece in person!

I was really pleased to receive the coin at the detail of it. I also like that it has the "W" for William and "C" for Catherine. I am keeping this for myself, but would not hesitate to use it as a shower/birth gift for a friend.

This coin was bought to add to my coin collection and to keep as a momentum of the Royal Princes birth.

The Coin is a fine Opportunity to assemble a Collection of rare Silvercoins (limited Editions) for an affordable Price. The Quality is impeccable and History has shown that Silver-coins are a reliable protection against any Devaluation of Currency. Truly a good Idea for a lasting Gift. I salute our Govmt. and the Canadian Mint. Peter Thoss Delta
