Britain’s Treasury has unveiled a new special edition coin to commemorate the life of Prince Philip, who died in April at the age of 99.

The Treasury said Saturday that the design of the 5-pound coin had been approved by Philip in 2008. It features an original portrait of Philip, drawn by artist Ian Rank-Broadley.

Though it is legal tender, the coin has been designed as a limited-edition collectable or gift and will not be entering general circulation.

Britain issues a £5 banknote, known as a “fiver,” the lowest-denomination note in circulation. RELATED: A Tearful Sophie, Countess Of Wessex Says Prince Philip’s Death Left ‘Giant Sized-Hole In Our Lives’ Philip was married to Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years.
