I think the 2023 design has been the best in the series so far. Also, I am not sure the 2024 feature a cub, looking at the both paw prints size  As I got all 3 in silver, took some photos
UPD.: checked the RCM site, yes, it's a cub, but grown-up and not wishing to leave the parents' home  "The reverse design by Canadian artist W. Allan Hancock shows a polar bear (Ursus maritimus) mother and her almost independent cub nuzzling in their Arctic habitat."

🤔even with my glasses on I wouldn’t be too sure..🤔🤣

These just arrived too. It's hard to imagine anything like this coming out again now there are only boring barcoded stamps to play with.

And more! All made and sold by the Royal Mint a couple of decades ago for £29.95 per cover at the time 😅

Some more sterling silver stamp nerdery

Something a little different... quite a fascinating little set.

What is going on. It is a polar bear and a cub on the coin, not a pair of seals 🤣

Wow they've even managed to make KCIII look somewhat acceptable on the obverse. Congrats to the RCM, that's borderline witchcraft!

Picked up this lovely Great Britain 1989 One Pound Coin ~ Elizabeth II Gem Proof UNC on 
eBay for US $8. This is the least amount I paid for any coin and it's a proof at that. I'm still wondering how I got
it at that price? Minting is 45k.

They are busy telling customers that the decades of QE2 set £225 for 8x cupro nickel coins is a gold deal. That's what they told me when I called them up this morning...
