Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the christening of Prince William, the eldest son of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, who was born on June 21, 1982. The coin features an image of Princess Diana holding Prince William as a baby, with the inscription "Princess Diana - William's Christening" on the obverse, and the Liberian coat of arms on the reverse. It was minted in 1997, five years after Princess Diana's tragic death in a car accident in Paris. Despite not being a circulating coin, it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists and royal family enthusiasts.
