Prince Philip is best known in the United Kingdom by his official title, Duke of Edinburgh. He died on April 9 at the age of 99 at Windsor Castle near London.
The coin is available in gold and silver and shows Philip in profile. The words “HRH The Prince Philip. Duke of Edinburgh 1921-2021 ”,“ HRH ”means“ His Royal Highness ”in German. dpa
