Originally struck to commemorate a century of royal service by marking the 100th anniversary of the creation of the House of Windsor, later the same year the coin was issued in a special edition cover to mark the engagement of Prince Henry of Wales and Ms Meghan Markle with an issue limit of 5,000.
Released as part of the 2017 annual sets in both Brilliant Uncirculated (27,551 sales) and Proof, and available in individual BU packs (24,116 sales), the design was also struck in silver proof, silver piedfort and gold proof. Proof issue limit: 30,000.
