Prince George turns five this Sunday, July 22, and the occasion is being celebrated with all the grandeur you’d expect of a little royal.
In fact, the little prince has already been gifted a very significant present.
Britain’s Royal Mint has produced a commemorative coin in honour of Prince George turning five, which will be available for the public to collect.
The coin is ‘a new interpretation of his namesake’, according to the Mint, and will feature an image of Saint George, patron saint of England, and a dragon.
