10 Pounds - Elizabeth II Princess Charlotte

Issued to mark the birth of Princess Charlotte in May 2015, this is one of dozens of near-identical royal birth commemoratives produced by Crown Dependencies and Commonwealth territories that year. Guernsey, Jersey, and several other issuers rushed comparable large-format silver pieces to market within weeks of the announcement, creating a crowded and competitive collector release. The 155-gram format places it in the five-troy-ounce category favored by the commemorative market since the mid-2000s.
