n a landmark moment for British numismatic history, The Royal Mint has announced that Princess Anne, the Princess Royal and the beloved sister of King Charles III, will be featured on an official UK coin for the very first time. This historic commemoration coincides with Princess Anne’s upcoming 75th birthday, marking a significant milestone in her lifelong dedication to public service and the monarchy.
On Friday, 18 July, The Royal Mint revealed the special commemorative coin design that pays tribute to the Princess Royal’s remarkable legacy. The announcement was met with widespread acclaim from royal enthusiasts, historians, and members of the public who have long admired Princess Anne’s steadfast commitment to duty and charity — many agreeing this recognition was long overdue.
