I'm not overly stuck on the subject matter, a silver round commemorating the wedding of Lady Diana and the Prince of Wales in 1981. Sure, this event was likely very special and elegant however not really my collecting cup of tea.
What drew me to this one was the fact it was made by one of my favourites - JM! I have many of their bars, some old vintage stuff and some newer stuff....but this is my first coin/round from them! This is also the first one I've bought that is sterling silver which is kinda neat.

An interesting find that I was unaware of, JM made a set of 3 coins for this event!
