When you're a princess mostly everything gets commemorated, including your christening!
The Royal Mint has unveiled the design for Princess Charlotte's christening coin. Engraver John Bergdahl has been selected as the commemorative memorabilia's designer. He also designed Prince George's coin.
The center of the coin features an inscription that reads, "To celebrate the christening of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge 2015." Surrounding the dedication are harp-playing cherubs. According to a statement obtained by E! News, both coins draw inspiration from the lily font that has been used in the baptism of royal babies since Queen Victoria's era.
The new £5 coin will be available in silver, as it is a long-standing tradition to cross a newborn's hands with the metal to bestow good health and prosperity. It will also be made in gold to mark the royal celebration.
