NILES,
Ill., July 2, 2024 /CNW/ -- Beautiful, charming,
and caring, Catherine Middleton seemed born to be a princess.
She met Prince William at
university, and their fairy-tale romance of prince and commoner
captured the hearts of millions. Married at Westminster Abbey on
29 April 2011, she became the Duchess
of Cambridge, thanks to Her Late
Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
This new royal swiftly made an impact on British and American
fashion and culture. She became a 3X honoree of Time Magazine's
Most Influential People. In 2022, when William was named Prince of
Wales by King Charles III, Catherine
became the new Princess of Wales.
She is the first to bear the title since William's mother,
Princess Diana. While her title may
have changed, Princess Catherine's
inspiring words and actions continues to influence millions of
people worldwide.
Widely popular, Princess
Catherine is devoted to her young family and improving
children's lives everywhere. In 2024, she revealed her strength and
character sharing her health challenges. Still continuing
treatment, she was warmly welcomed at the recent Trooping of the
Colour ceremonies which was her first public appearance since her
illness was made known.
Now, The Bradford Exchange Mint, the stewards of commemorating
historic events announce the release of The Catherine Princess
of Wales Proof Coin. As Bradford Exchange's Chief Numismatist
Walter J. Kole remarks: "This 24K
Gold plated and non-monetary tribute honors the new Princess of
Wales' inspiring spirit and
service." She appears in the splendor of her Coronation Day regalia
and royal cypher privy mark. Her sculpted portrait appears on the
reverse and is graced by the "Lovers Knot" tiara.
Minted in the United Kingdom by
The Commonwealth Mint of Birmingham, specially-polished coining blanks
are struck multiple times to create the Proof finish's raised
frosted details and mirror-like background – the highest level of
minter's art.
In support of Catherine's focus on raising awareness, The
Bradford Exchange Mint has made a donation to Cancer Research
U.K.
