Royal Wedding crown dated 1981, struck by The Royal Mint for the marriage of the Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer.
The wedding took place at St Paul's Cathedral on 29 July 1981. The crown was the first British coin to carry a portrait of Lady Diana Spencer and it was issued in very large numbers, which is why the pair remain so widely recognised.
The reverse by Philip Nathan sets conjoined busts of the couple within the legend H.R.H. The Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer. The obverse carries the Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
