| Additional information |
Prince Louis Arthur Charles was born April 23, 2018 — St George's Day — at the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, the same private maternity unit used for his siblings and, before them, his father. The Isle of Man Treasury has issued commemorative crown-sized pieces for every major royal event since the 1970s, making this one of dozens of near-identical occasions captured in the same format. That frequency is worth noting: the IoM program is primarily a collector revenue mechanism, not a currency issue, and these pieces enter circulation only nominally.
