The Royal Mint has issued a special collection of three coins to celebrate the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle which will take place on 19th May 2018 at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.

Designer Jody Clark created the designs for all three coins using photos taken of the couple during a sitting at Kensington Palace. The obverse would also feature Clark’s 2015 design featuring an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
