Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted to commemorate the christening of Prince George of Cambridge, the son of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. The coin's design features an image of the royal family, including Prince George, and the inscription "Royal Christening 2013" on the reverse side. The coin's platinum composition and piedfort style, which means it was struck multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed design, make it a unique and valuable collector's item.
