20 dollars Silver coins to celebrate royal baby birth
   A trilogy of parental delights: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may have centuries of royal traditions behind them, but as they welcome their first-born into their arms, their love, devotion and aspirations will be universally linked to the thoughts and emotions that have defined parenthood throughout the ages and around the world.

  Sweet dreams: Days and nights revolve around sleep and feedings as baby's every need becomes paramount. No room has ever commanded as much careful planning as the nursery, where baby's joy and comfort in this special space fall second only to the room's outward expression of a parent's adoration, care and love.

  Tender bonds: Little babies are irresistible; the desire to comfort and connect through touch—and the delight when a tiny hand wraps around one's finger. "Holding hands" will never be the same. With baby, it is far more powerful; a vessel for nurturing the love between parent and child, child and parent, husband and wife, family.

 A hopeful future: Every parent struggles with hope and worry when welcoming a newborn. While preparing a child for a future role as monarch may be a daunting task, the open and carefree way babies embrace every new experience serves as a compelling reminder of the unconquerable power of life itself.

   This charming set of $20 coins delivers a trilogy of heartwarming scenes to express the joy and wonder of the first months with a precious newborn, each designed by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw and expertly crafted in 99.99% pure silver with a diameter of 38 millimeters and a weight of 31.39 grams.
With a limited mintage of 7,500 sets worldwide, this prestigious and original keepsake will easily become a cherished heirloom passed down through the generations to mark the arrival of each first-born—starting with 2013.

25-Cent Coin Royal Infant Carriage
   The final coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is a 25-cent coin depicting a baby carriage with maple leaves. An interlocked circle with the names “William” and “Catherine” surrounds, with the letters “W” and “C” adorned by crowns to each side.

The cupro-nickel coin is struck in specimen quality.
