DIANA, QUEEN OF OUR HEARTS A Legacy of Love Commemorative Coin

There are moments in time which anchor our lives. We witness events that forever change us. We all remember where we were when Princess Diana died and shared the grief felt by the entire world. Diana's passing reminded us of her transformation from a shy teacher's assistant to a vivacious, empowered woman of the world whose life goal was to change that world for the better. She succeeded on every count. Her selfless work with the sick and the underprivileged reminded us that a little love can make a big difference. Twenty-five years after her passing, Diana's gift of compassion and caring still changes lives and inspires us. Today, please join me in remembering this extraordinary woman with a new coin minted to celebrate her life. Approved for minting by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the 'Diana, Queen of Our Hearts – A Legacy of Love Commemorative Coin' is a lasting tribute to one who selflessly sent out love into the world.

Royal enthusiasts, shared Diana's transformative journey from an unassuming young girl to a confident woman. The coin tastefully traces this path through two cameo portraits of Diana. On the left, she is shown at Eden Park, New Zealand, in 1983. There is a hint of wonder in her gaze, expressing the joy of discovering new faces in her role as 'ambassador' for the monarchy. The other shows her at the Queen's and Royal Hampshire Regiment, Kent, May 1995. Twelve years later, she has determined the course of her life, her smile shows compassion and grace that will forever define Diana. Her famous 'D' cypher crowns the design. The words' Duty, Grace, Understanding, Caring, Humility Compassion, Love' further express her legacy as does the biblical quote which encircles this inspiring design: 'And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.'
