| Additional information |
Issued by the Pobjoy Mint on behalf of a British overseas territory — almost certainly one of the smaller island dependencies that routinely license commemorative strikes through Pobjoy — this piece marks the 2010 announcement of Prince William's engagement to Catherine Middleton. The engagement was announced on November 16, 2010, following a proposal in Kenya earlier that month.
Pobjoy has produced commemorative issues of this type in copper-nickel alongside silver and gold variants, with the base metal versions intended primarily for the collector gift market rather than any genuine circulation role.
