1961 Dated Half Crown: The 1961 Half Crown holds a special place in the Kensington Mint Princess Diana Commemorative Coin Set, symbolising the year Princess Diana was born. This coin, part of the pre-decimal currency system in place before 1971, represents a significant era in British numismatics. The Half Crown, equivalent to two shillings and sixpence, was a substantial coin of the realm, circulating widely and valued for its purchasing power. The obverse typically features the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showcasing the artistry and engraving skills of the Royal Mint during this period. The reverse design varied throughout its issuance but often depicted a heraldic crest or the Royal Arms, embodying the rich heritage and tradition of the United Kingdom. Made from cupro-nickel, the 1961 Half Crown is a tangible piece of history, connecting collectors to the year of Princess Diana's birth and the historical context of her early life.


1981 Crown: The 1981 Crown is a cornerstone of the set, commemorating the fairy-tale wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer on July 29, 1981. This coin captures the joy and global excitement surrounding their union, a moment that remains one of the most watched events in television history. The Crown, with a denomination of 25 new pence, was issued in a larger format than regular circulation coins, making it an ideal canvas to celebrate national events. The design often features dual portraits of Charles and Diana, symbolising their marriage and the hope it represented for the nation's future. Struck in cupro-nickel, this coin is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint and the enduring appeal of royal commemoratives. It serves as a poignant reminder of Diana's entry into the royal family and her immediate impact on the public imagination.


1999 Crown: The 1999 Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Crown is a tribute to Princess Diana's legacy, issued two years after her tragic death in 1997. This coin reflects the deep affection and respect held for Diana, celebrating her life's work and humanitarian efforts. With a denomination of five pounds, it was part of a new series of commemorative crowns introduced in the 1990s to mark significant national and royal events. The design is a poignant homage to Diana, often featuring a portrait that captures her grace and compassion. Struck in brilliant uncirculated condition, this coin is intended for collectors, preserving the fine details and finish that commemorate Diana's enduring legacy. It symbolises the love and admiration felt for Diana across the world, making it a key piece in the commemorative set.


Each coin in the Kensington Mint Princess Diana Commemorative Coin Set is not just a piece of currency but a chapter in the story of a woman who touched the hearts of millions. From her birth in 1961, through her iconic marriage in 1981, to her lasting legacy commemorated in 1999, these coins offer a journey through the life of Princess Diana, celebrated and remembered through the art of numismatics.
