Like the scroll detail on the reverse.

Second sovereign of the year, this one from the Britannia Coin Company's 'lucky dip' (aka best value) pile - as my last one from Chard's was a '58, we're on a (very) mini date run for the year!

The RM decided to launch a new series of coins called The Great Engravers to commemorate engravers of coins from past years. The first coin launched 2020 was Una and the Lion. They were not launched in massive numbers I think the 2oz silver was 3000 and the gold around 225.
When they were released they were in fact beautiful but the numbers caused a slight problem as every collector wanted one. You have 2 types of buyers, true collectors and flippers. For the flippers this was an ideal situation as numbers of coins were low and demand high so it drove the prices up.  Golds hit 25k and graded silvers were making up to 6k, it basically went mental. The mint release prices were £4485 and £180
Now we have the second coin in the series The Three Graces, again small numbers ( 3500 & 325 ) and again a frenzy. This time however some people are sending their coins to be graded as they realise there is a lot more money to be made. Grading takes time and until those graded coins hit auction it is difficult to put a price on the coins in the market.
Hope this helps and I got it right

Sums it up nicely I think, will be even worse for next coin

Well I only just spotted these and I am in love with the design and so went and ordered a 1oz and 10oz silver version!

These look too nice to pass.

Haha shush I didn’t know how to spell their actual names and was too lazy to Google. So Grace, Grace and Grace will do 😂
