Hello and welcome to The Silver Forum  

As I read things, they were changed in 2013 to bring them in line to the global standard of Fine rather than Britannia Silver. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_standards They're still 1 t oz of silver, hence over weight/larger.

😆 Thank you so much for recognising the kangaroo, I thought it was a donkey! 😃

Ok for those who want to know, here’s a screenshot from the German website.  Near the bottom of the pic, you’ll see the tentative release dates of the entire series.  This gives you ample opportunity to plan your purchase of this series accordingly.  😊  

Hello. I've just bought a couple of bits from a well known social media site beginning with f. I am splitting hairs a bit on this question but please bare with me. One of the bits was a 1991 American eagle. The weight is 31.1g but it's 99.93 percent silver. 0.07% copper.  I already own quiet a few pre 2012 Brits. They are over weight and size but have the 31.1g of silver in them. This I think is classes at 958.  So I was confused about the eagle containing copper and still weighing 1 ounce. Then I googled, why is silver 999? The answer I received was, any silver used for investment or trade must be 99.9% pure. Does this mean any Brit before 2012 would not be classed as investment grade bullion?    

Congrats @Gildeon, lovely coin 👍
