Comment

On July 22, 2013, His Royal Highness Prince George Alexander Louis became the newest member of Canada's Royal Family. A highly anticipated moment for admirers of the Royal Family around the world, the birth of young Prince George, the third pretender to the throne of England, was greeted with the joy and outpouring befitting such a happy event. This magnificent 99.99% pure silver coin celebrates the birth and royal ancestry of young Prince George, and illustrates his links with members of the royal family spanning several generations.

Although George's name and arrival were quickly announced around the world on the Internet, the young prince's entry into the public sphere was closely linked to the history of the House of Windsor, the current royal house of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. In keeping with tradition, Prince George inherits his title and designations from his father, the current Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn and Baron of Carrickfergus. In addition, the young prince's second and third given names, Alexander and Louis, have an important historical link with the royal tradition and the beloved ancestors of the present royal family.

- It was Prince George's great-great-great-grandfather, George V, who officially changed the name of the royal progeny from German "Saxe-Coburg" and "Gotha" to English
"Windsor", in 1917. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II reinforced her grandfather's proclamation in 1952 and 1960, when she officially declared that from then on, she and all her descendants bearing the title of prince or princess and designated by means of Her Royal Highness would also bear the surname "Windsor".
- Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II became Queen of the Commonwealth on June 2, 1952. Her son, Prince Charles, is the current heir to the throne. The latter's son, Prince William, is the second heir, making William's son, Prince George, the third heir.
- Prince George's birth marks the second time in history that Britain has had three living heirs to the throne, and from different generations. The first was during the long reign of Queen Victoria.
- Although being heir to the throne comes with the weight of long years of history, Prince George arrives at a time when the monarchy is evolving, in step with modern society. Many admirers of the royal family are eager to find out what approach Prince George's grandfather, Prince Charles, and his father, Prince William, will take to the throne and the mentoring of this young heir.
- In her 2013 Christmas address at Buckingham Palace, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II spoke of her growing family, the joyous event of her grandson's christening on October 2, 2013, and the joy and hope for the future that comes with having a new child in the Royal Family.

Packaging
The coin is encapsulated and presented in a burgundy double-shell case featuring the Royal Canadian Mint logo. The case comes with a black protective box.Automatically translated
