| Reverse description | The central field features a full-color photographic image of HRH Prince William of Wales, dressed in his red military ceremonial uniform with gold epaulettes and a blue sash, facing right toward Miss Catherine Middleton, who is shown wearing her bridal gown and veil, smiling. The surrounding legend reads HRH PRINCE WILLIAM OF WALES - MISS CATHERINE MIDDLETON along the outer border, with the inscription THE ROYAL WEDDING appearing in smaller lettering beneath the upper rim. The date 2011 is engraved in the lower exergue, flanked by a decorative motif of interlinked wedding rings and foliate ornaments. The gold-plated border provides a sharp frame to the polychrome central image. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the April 2011 marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, this is one of hundreds of near-identical commemorative pieces flooding the market from Pacific island nations whose mint relationships with the Pobjoy Mint and others effectively turn their nominal sovereignty into a licensing arrangement for collectible production.
