1981 Great Britain 25 Pence Silver Charles & Diana Proof

Honoring The 1981 Wedding Of Prince Charles And Princess Diana

On July 29, 1981, people everywhere across the world were glued to their television sets as Great Britain’s Prince Charles—the son of Queen Elizabeth II and heir to the British throne—and Lady Diana Spencer were married at London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral. Of course, by now everyone knows the details of the ill-fated marriage that acrimoniously ended in a messy 1996 divorce amid steamy tabloid tales of infidelity, bitter fights, and revelations that their initial courtship saw the Prince and Princess meeting only 13 times before they were married! Today, more than 40 years later, the groom has become the King of England in a spectacular coronation that Diana didn’t live to see as she was killed in a car accident in 1997.

A Poignant Reminder Of What The World Gained—And What Was Lost

These events all make this coin a poignant reminder of what the world gained by the union of these two star-crossed people—and what was lost when Dina was tragically taken from us in that horrific crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris while her driver fled from paparazzi. Struck by Great Britain’s prestigious Royal Mint in 28.28 grams of highly pure 92.5% Sterling silver, this one-year-only commemorative was issued in 1981 to celebrate the wedding of Charles and Diana and shows both of them on one side of the coin wile the obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II.
