The presence of little Prince George and Princess Charlotte has generated extraordinary public interest on the Royal tour of British Columbia and the Yukon, but the two have remained mostly hidden from view. Now the children have appeared, and are featured with their parents on a commemorative coin released today by the Royal Canadian Mint.
The $20 silver coin features a full colour reproduction of Chris Jeff’s royal family portrait.
“The Government of Canada is thrilled that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on their second visit to Canada and we are especially delighted that Prince George and Princess Charlotte could join them,” said the Honourable Bill Morneau, Minister of Finance. “The pride of Canadians in this historic moment will be permanently reflected in the silver coin that the Royal Canadian Mint has finely crafted to mark this occasion.”
The 99.9 per cent silver coin retails for $109 and features four engraved maple leaves to represent each member of this Royal Family.
