5 Pounds - Elizabeth II Royal Wedding, Silver Proof

Issued to mark the May 2018 marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, this was one of several denominations the Royal Mint produced for the occasion — a commercial programme that had become reliably lucrative for the Mint following the 2011 Cambridge wedding. Proof silver strikes were produced in strictly limited numbers against a subscription model, with the bulk of the mintage allocated to collector sets rather than individual sales.
