Having spent nearly 8 decades selflessly serving the country, in 2017 His Royal Highness Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh announced his retirement from public duties. As the longest serving consort in the history of the British monarchy, Philip has provided years of love and support to the Queen. In addition, he has an extensive service record, and an unparalleled dedication to charity work.
To mark the retirement of the Duke of Edinburgh in 2017, The Royal Mint have struck 3 stunning celebratory £5 coins: gold, silver, and Brilliant Uncirculated.
