We’re pretty sure that we don’t know any 5-year-olds who have received birthday gifts quite this cool.
Whilst all the attention has been on the new Royal Baby, Prince Louis, it would be easy to forget that the first royal baby — and heir to the throne — Prince George is turning 5!
Prince William and Duchess Kate’s eldest child was born at St. Mary’s Hospital in London on the 22nd of July 2013.
And so, in honor of the future king turning half a decade, The Royal Mint has announced that a special coin will be created just for him.

The £5 coin bears the image of the 5-year-old’s namesake, St. George, and a dragon.
“The birth of Prince George altered the course of history in the United Kingdom, and we are pleased to be marking the fifth birthday of our future king,” said Nicola Howell who is director of consumer business at The Royal Mint.
Seems a fitting gift for a Prince.
