£5 Royal Wedding Platinum Piedfort Coin

Royal Mint UK had released the second engagement coin design to mark the engagement of HRH Prince William of Wales and Miss Catherine Middleton. The design is much more beautiful then the 1st design of the royal wedding. I am more interested in the £5 Royal Wedding Platinum Piedfort Coin since its not easy to find a platinum coins and they're more expensive then gold. Extremely rare and tarnish resistant, this precious silver-white metal makes a fitting tribute to Prince William and his bride. Only 200 Platinum coins will be made available by Royal Mint.

This is only an artist's illustration.

It is our great honour to present the official Royal Wedding coin design, now fully approved by the Royal Household and the Government. This is the official UK coin, produced by the Royal Mint, to celebrate this historic event. It will be presented at a meeting of the Privy Council on 16th March, at which point it will pass into law to become official UK tender . You can reserve your official Royal Wedding £5 coin today at Royal Mint website. Every product will have an issue limit.
