Princess Charlotte Research Paper

E! Online reports that as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge along with the Royal Family present their 2-month-old daughter on her christening on Sunday, a new £5 coin was released in silver to commemorate the event.
This commemorative coin tradition was passed on by Queen Victoria in baptisms of every royal baby. The coin symbolizes good health and prosperity which will then be blessed on the child's hands.
With harp-playing cherubims on each sides, a text was engraved in Lily font that reads, "To celebrate the christening of Princess Charlotte …show more content…

"These coins will be a fitting addition to The Royal Mint's long tradition of creating works of art to celebrate landmark events in the history of the Royal family," stated Royal Mint's director of commemorative coin and medals, Shane Bissett.
"It is entirely appropriate that we commemorate this significant occasion with the release of a special coin, just as we celebrated the christening of Prince George." Royal mint sold a £5 silver coin in commemoration of the birth of Prince George in July 23, 2013 for £80 in silver, with an image of "the definitive Sovereign," St. George and a dragon engraved on the metal.
