Lea Nathan of Grand Cove Estates has already ordered her souvenir of the royal wedding, and for her it will have a very special meaning. She hopes to receive a coin engraved wkth likeness df Charles and Diana to commemorate the wedding. But the' coin has far greater importance . than just the royal wedding to Mrs. Nathan. It was design- ed and engraved by her nephew Philip Nathan. The coins are a special issue of the British crown, with a face value of 25 pence. However, the cupro-nickle coin in a plastic pack will cost one pound, 95 pence (approximately $4.25 Canadian). The same coin in silver, in an attractive presentation case is priced at 28 pounds, 75 pence (approximately $66.70 Canadian) . Mrs. Nathan is British by birth, and spends most of her time in Grand Bend. She QC. returns to England annually, and stays at Thorpe- Lesoken, which she describes as a "lovely, quaint village." Mrs. Nathan says that it was an honour for her nephew to be chosen to design the official coin. Mrs. ROYAL WEDDING COIN - Philip Nathan displays the coin which he designed to commemorate the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. He is the nephew of leo Nathan, Grand Bend. Nathan has numerous newspaper clippings from the British press concerning her nephews work on the crown. This is the official com- memorative crown, issued by the British government. While many other com- memorativecoins and medallions are being struck, this is the only one which is actual currency. Philip Nathan is 40 years old and lives in England with his wife and two children. He is a freelancer, and has distinguished himself as a medallist and coin designer. Recently he designed a set of coins for Barbados. Prior to becoming a freelance artist, Nathan worked for theFranklin Mint where he designed such works as a collection of 12 spoons featuring characters from Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He also created a set of 38 medal depicting dif- ferent Shakespearean plays. Nathan's work on the royal wedding coin was not without its problems. According to one of his aunt's newspapers clippings, he selected a photograph of Lady Diana looking "rather windswept" because it was "romantic" after which to pattern his sculture. However, the future queen's flyway hair was tided up a bit on a suggestion from Prince Philip, who heads the royal mint ad- visory committee. The commiittee felt that Di's stray locks came too close to the lettering on the royal wedding crown. Despite being asked to change the original design, Car destroyed by fire, driver escapes injury There were no injuries was called, but the car was injury.

July 29 NORTH BEACH - GRAND BEND t Nathan told his British press that he is "still well pleased with the results." Nathan studied dozens of press photographs after he was approached to design the reverse side of the crown. "I was going for the light- hearted and romantic look, and I found a rather nice picture of Lady Diana showing her hair slightly windswept, which I rather liked," he said in an in- terview. The coin has finally been approved by Prince Phillip's committee, as well as by Charles and Diana, and the Queen. tInly 25 million of the crowns have been struck. They became available July 7.

ROYAL WEDDING FLAG RAISING - Emlyn Cole, a resident of Grand Cove Estates. Grand Bend, prepores to raise the flag of the Prince of Wales, in honour of the royal wed- ding of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer. Mr. Cole, a native of Wales says, that this flog will be flown at Westminister for the wedding, because Charles is the Prince of Wales. Charles wos proclaimed prince when he turned 21 at Caernavon Castle in North Wales. The flog is green and white, with a red dragon in the middle. The Welsh motto on it reads, "Red Dragon is Rampant". Cole says he has flown the flag on St. David's Day, March 1, in the past.
