Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born on 2 May 2015 at Saint Mary's Hospital in London weighing 3.7 kilograms. She is the second child of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and a great granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II.

Born fourth in line to the throne after her grandfather Charles, the Prince of Wales, Her father William, the Duke of Cambridge, and her older sibling, His Royal Highness Prince George, Princess Charlotte was bestowed the title of Her Royal Highness by the reigning Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. She is the first princess to be born into the British monarchy in 25 years. The last was the daughter of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, Princess Eugenie of York in 1990. The Princess is the first major royal who cannot be overtaken in the line of succession by any future younger brothers following changes to the monarchy's rules to remove gender bias.

DESIGN

The reverse of the coin depicts a sculpted portrait of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge cradling and gazing lovingly at their newborn baby, with HRH Prince George by their side. The image is encircled by a sculpted ribbon tied in a bow. The inscription CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF THE ROYAL BABY, and The Perth Mint's 'P' mintmark, are also included in the design.

The obverse of the coin depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11, the 2015 year-date and monetary denomination.
