| Reverse description | A finely detailed right-facing bust of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales dominates the coin's field, engraved by Robert Elderton in a restrained and naturalistic style. The portrait captures the Prince in a contemporary likeness, rendered with careful attention to facial structure and texture. The engraver's initials R.E.E. appear discreetly in the lower field beneath the bust. A circular Latin legend encircles the effigy, reading H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES above and 70TH BIRTHDAY below, each segment separated by raised pellet stops, commemorating the Prince's seventieth birthday in 2018. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Prince Charles's seventieth birthday on November 14, 2018, this piece was produced while serious public and parliamentary debate about the succession and Charles's fitness for the role was still very much alive. The Royal Mint struck it in a mintage of just 350 pieces — one of the lower platinum proof figures in the modern commemorative range.
