1999 Guernsey Gold Proof £25 Royal Wedding Coin
In 1999, Guernsey issued a gold sovereign sized £25 gold proof coin to commemorate the Wedding of Prince Edward & Miss Sophie Rhys-Jones.

Royal Wedding - Prince Edward & Miss Sophie Rhys-Jones
According to the Royal Mint Certificate which accompanies this coin:

This 24 carat gold coin issued by Guernsey is a fitting tribute to the wedding of Prince Edward and Sophie Rhys-Jones. The announcement of their engagement came on the 6th of January 1999. It was during the Christmas holiday period that the couple sought the permission of their respective parents to marry. Both families expressed their delight and the marriage of the youngest son of The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh brings the final wedding to this Royal generation*. The ceremony on Saturday 19th June at St. George's Chapel, Windsor was conducted by the Right Reverend Peter Nott, Bishop of Norwich. Edward and Sophie planned a simple family wedding, but were persuaded to allow a public presence within the precincts of Windsor Castle. The ceremony was broadcast to a world audience by the BBC. The couple's first home at Bagshot Park in Surrey was built by Queen Victoria in 1875 for her favourite son, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught. The house stands in grounds of some 88 acres and has undergone a complete refurbishment.
* The Royal Mint got that wrong, as Prince Charles married Camilla Parker-Bowles on 9th April 2005. Both the Falkland Islands and British Virgin Islands issued coins for this later occasion.
