OTTAWA - A commemorative coin for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding will be adorned with crystals and Canadian maple leaves.
The Royal Canadian Mint has revealed a 99.99 per cent pure silver keepsake to celebrate the May 19 nuptials at Windsor Castle.
It features an engraved portrait based on one of the couple's engagement photos and has a face value of $20.
The coin is edged in maple leaves, English roses and shells from Prince Harry's coat of arms. It also features three Swarovski crystals to represent Markle's three-stone engagement ring.
