UK 2013 £5 The Christening of HRH Prince George of Cambridge Uncirculated Coin

When The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their first son on 22 July the world celebrated his safe arrival. The new baby – third in line to the throne - was named Prince George Alexander Louis a few days later, his name recalling six monarchs named King George, George VI being the baby’s great- great grandfather, the much-loved father of Her Majesty the Queen. The Royal Mint was ready to welcome Prince George with official coins to celebrate his birth. Never had a Royal birth been commemorated on coinage.
