The wedding of heir to the throne, Prince Charles (later King Charles III), and Lady Diana Spencer, on 29 July 1981, is one of the most memorable moments in British royal history. This official collectors' set, made by The Royal Mint, includes two premium Royal Wedding coins:
The UK's national mint issued a special Crown to mark Prince Charles and Princess Diana's Wedding in 1981. This commemorative coin features a double portrait of the royal couple and is struck in solid .925 sterling silver with a proof finish.
The smaller coin in this set is a sought-after proof Sovereign, struck in 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold. The reverse features the classic Saint George design, while the obverse displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
In 1981, the Royal Mint authorised the release of just 2,500 2-coin sets of this kind. This pre-owned example comes in the original presentation case with a certificate of authenticity enclosed.
