While this will be the first time William has appeared on his own coin solo, he had previously been printed on a limited edition coin alongside partner Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, issued in 2011 to commemorate the couple's marriage.
Alongside the new £5 coin (for anyone wondering, no, you can't spend it) a limited edition two-coin set will also be released, featuring a 0.25oz gold celebration coin and a 1982 sovereign coin – marking the year the duke was born.

The Prince William coin does not have an official release date yet but is expected to be launched on his birthday itself.
