I thought the three toes looked off too. Looking at the statue though it appears that the design is faithful to the crowned lion at Hampton Court.

Mine just arrived (sent signed for)

Anyone else had a different QC number??

I got QC #13 on mine. Lucky for me all was in perfect condition.

Managed to get round the queue too and make my order.

Current £1,380 prompted by Evergrande averting default?

Any thoughts on the reason for this?

Not sure this warrants a pre sale, can't imagine a wild rush on it. Bit of a shame to see the design is unchanged from last year

I thought the same. Particularly with the announcement of this year's sovereign and the Royal Tudor Beasts.

Pre-Launch 2022 Britannias:

With the gold content of a sovereign being 7.3224g, and spot currently at £40.62 at time of writing (total £297.44), you would will be very unlikely to get a sovereign for £250. Try tracking the cost of gold here (or similar) https://www.gold.co.uk/gold-price/week/ounces/GBP/ and identify where you can buy for a decent premium over spot.

Saying that, if you do find sovereigns for £250 let me know! 😀

Thanks - has anyone ever won on these Royal Mint draws?

They seem to be getting in quite a bit of hot water recently.

Thanks. Managed to pick up some half sovs for £156 too.
