The Royal Mint’s 1981 crown for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, with the couple’s joined portraits on one side and Queen Elizabeth II on the other. It is struck in copper-nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel), 38.61 mm, and almost 27 million were made, so it is a popular keepsake rather than a precious-metal coin. As an older collectible, it shows signs of wear.
