London - Official £5 coins commemorating Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding have rolled off the presses.
Britain's Royal Mint says it expects to sell more than 250 000 of the coins worldwide, as anticipation grows over the April 29 royal wedding.
The coin shows the couple in profile facing each other, surrounded by a border that reads "William and Catherine" and their wedding date. The image of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the reverse side. The couple and the queen have approved the design.
The mint says the first coins rolled off the presses on Wednesday.
The coins, which are struck from a higher quality metal than ordinary coins, sell for £9.99 each and are available for order online.
