The christening gown has been used by the royal family for generations, with a faithful replica used today for the newest additions to the royal family. The photo has been printed using a minted photo image technique, replicating the photographic look from days gone by. The photograph is framed by beautiful, high relief gold plating featuring New Zealand’s pōhutukawa flowers.
The coin comes with an individually numbered certificate and is immaculately presented in a royal purple leatherette case, keeping your coin pristine for years to come. With a worldwide mintage of just 1,500, this coin is sure to be popular and won’t last long.
