H.R.H. Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton - Coloured Coin (2011)


A keepsake for royal watchers everywhere!
2011 Royal Tour
From June 30 to July 8, 2011, Canada welcomed Their Royal Highnesses, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they embarked on their first overseas tour as a married couple. As this tour was the most-watched Royal tour ever, this coin is more than a lasting memory of the Royal wedding – it's a piece of history in the making.
Highlights:
The larger-than-usual diameter of this 25-cent coin is an unexpected
feature that provides plenty of space to capture every detail of its
colour design—a unique keepsake to celebrate one of the most
beautiful weddings of the year!
Coin design:
A portrait of the young couple with Prince William’s profile in the
foreground and his bride Catherine Middleton at his side.
Congratulations to
the world’s favourite
bride and groom
Prince William and Catherine Middleton first
met in 2001 while studying at the University
of St. Andrews in Scotland. During the
course of their years at St. Andrews, the pair
grew increasingly closer, and by the time
they graduated in 2005, it was well-known
they were a couple. Observers have long
speculated the two would marry, and although
the engagement came as no surprise, it has
elated many as it proved to be the most
highly anticipated Royal wedding of recent
memory.
On April 29, 2011, people across Britain, the
Commonwealth, and the world celebrated this
exciting moment with the newlyweds.
His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales
and Miss Catherine Middleton became engaged
during a trip to Kenya in October 2010. Prince
William carried with him the engagement ring—a
stunning 18-carat sapphire surrounded by
fourteen diamonds which had previously belonged
to Diana, Princess of Wales.
Prince William asked
Catherine to marry him in a manner she later said
was “very romantic, and... very personal.”
Clarence House announced the engagement to
the world on November 16, 2010.
