    foinikas got a reaction from Heirlooms in 2022 Sovereign design revealed?   
    The design is the best i ve seen the last few years.  Maybe the most beautiful sovereign design. I love Jody Clark, he is one of the best coin engravers out there in my opinion and i am collecting his coins. I am definetely buying whatever i can get my hands on on Tuesday! Will aim for the big set as i think only the £5 will really do justise on the beautiful details on this design.
    The demand will be very high and i dont think these will last more than a day or two.
    Even with the increased prices, once these sell out, will be hard to get them at RRP again.

    The £5 BU will be almost as impressive as the Proof, if not more (imo) because in recent years the BU has been more of a “matte proof”.

    The design will be a shield similar to the platinum jubilee, but i have heard it will be so much better and made from a well known engraver!  I am very excited as design is a very big deciding factor for my purchases.
    if anyone has the design please share it with us 🥹🥹
    Mintage numbers seems to be higher to meet demand. I am pretty sure these will be quick sell out (within few days).

    Indeed, they should leave the actual prices of past coins, but if they do it people will realise the 15-20% increase from last year.

    I thought they would go to £675 myself (as crazy as even that sounds to me, as I roll it around my bonce) but wouldn't be surprised at £695 at all.
    Good news for all the recent most desirable QEIIs of course (though I'd argue that is most of them).
    Shocking how they can (and do) change 'past, sold out' prices to make it look like new releases are no different.

    "Pistrucci - Waterloo Medal" could be a contender given the history & controversy behind it maybe?
    Think we would all agree in gold will be something to behold 

    Waterloo Medal The problem with Pistrucci was not just his fiery temperament and his bitterness at not being appointed Chief Engraver when, as he insisted, the post had been promised to him by William Wellesley Pole.
    There was also the long-standing difficulty caused by a large commemorative medal for the Battle of Waterloo, officially commissioned from Pistrucci for presentation to, among others, the allied sovereigns who had been victorious in defeating Napoleon.
    Pistrucci had conceived the medal on the grandest scale and his progress was slow – and deliberately so since he feared that, having put himself beyond the pale by his obstinate behaviour, the Royal Mint would sever its association with him as soon as he handed over the dies.
     
    Completion of the dies The work dragged on and, having invested so much money in the ‘coming wonder’, successive Masters of the Mint felt obliged to encourage the argumentative and dilatory Pistrucci to complete the dies. Years passed and eventually, in 1849, Pistrucci was able to hand over the completed dies.
    These unfortunately were so large that they could not be hardened and the outcome of a project that had begun 30 years before was that no medals could be struck.
    The dies survive and undoubtedly represent a triumph of medallic art and a masterpiece of engraving skill.
    With their completion Pistrucci’s association with the Royal Mint finally came to an end and he died at Englefield Green, near Windsor, in 1855.

    So I’ve been told a release date for the 2023 sov. the date I’ve been given is 13th Nov 2022. This is from a fairly reliable source! Let’s see if they are right! If they are we only have just over a week to wait 🤩
