The design was also issued in gold proof.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the royal christening of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, the daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The coin's design features an image of the princess surrounded by her family, along with the inscription "Royal Christening 2015." It was a limited edition release, with only 10,000 coins minted, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
