This new £5 coin celebrates the arrival of Britain's royal princess


The Royal Mint has unveiled the design of a new £5 coin, to commemorate the safe arrival of the royal baby.
In celebration of the princess's birth, 500 gold coins and 9,500 silver coins will be produced.
The coins have a royal seal of approval from the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Chancellor.
John Bergdahl has designed the limited-edition pieces, and he was also the artist behind the commemorative coins which were minted for Prince George's birth.
 "It is only fitting that we commemorate this new addition to the Royal Family with the release of a special coin, just as we celebrated the arrival of Prince George, hee said."
In addition to the £5 coin, the Royal Mint has also produced 2015 silver pennies which will be given to babies born on the same day as the royal baby.
