Prince George of Cambridge will have his first birthday marked with a British commemorative £5 coin.
The 11-month-old and third in line to the throne is the first royal family member to have his first birthday honoured with a coin.
Queen Elizabeth and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have approved the design of the sterling silver piece, which features the heraldic royal arms and the year 2014.
