I love Royal Wedding Fever where a £5 coin retails fo £9.99.
Does the coin have her family motto on the obverse "Cash In". Actually that could apply to both families.
But who are the couple depicted on the K&W coin? Looks a bit like younger versions of Kate Adie and William Shatner. Any other suggestions?
William looks like Beavis on that coin.. (Buttheads mate)
