Two Silver Edition Prince Charles and Lady Diana Wedding Commemorative sets, including first day covers and silver medals. Also Franklin Mint's 1973 British Virgin Islands Proof set; and a 1976 St. Patrick's Day Commemorative silver medal and cachet: the conversion of the pagan princesses in 441 A.D. The 1976 St Patrick's Day Medal depicts one of the most dramatic moments in the Saint's conversion of Ireland to Christianity. The event took place at Rath Crochan in 441 A.D.
When St Patrick encountered Ethne the White and Fedlem the Red, daughters of Loigaire, pagan king of Ireland, the curious young girls began asking him many questions. St Patrick answered extolling Christianity and then said "I wish to unite you with a heavenly King as ye are the daughters of an earthly king. Believe." After they were baptized the sisters asked if they could see the face of Christ. St Patrick explained "Until ye shall taste death, ye cannot see the face of Christ and unless ye shall receive the sacrifice." Then, according to legend, the girls received the Eucharist and fell dead. After a period of mourning, the maidens were buried near the fountain and a church was constructed at the site.
