Have to agree with Scootermuppet. This will look good as a ten coin set. The completer coin, assuming there is one, will be a must have😎.....My immediate impression of the Yale is favourable, better than the lion, almost as good as the Panther🥳 Will see if I decide to get the Yale in nickel🤔

Don't like the design. If they did a pure colour flag thingie that would have looked better and more conceptually succinct imo.

Yes, that is the bullion edition, I have the 2021 version. A very iconic design I would say along with the Britannia 50p😁

I like the new Britannia, she does look pretty and the lion shield looks good but... with the rising cost of living...the design would have to be spectacular...

There is a place on the Strand in London (was Stanley Gibbons?) that still sells premium stamps and relic coins. Last June, I managed to acquire an ungraded, toned 1901- B. The B means the coin was minted in Bombay with the mint mark located on the middle prong of the trident. Along with a hand written COA, I paid £150, I wanted an authentic historic silver artifact from the British Empire. Still chuffed🙂 At the time they had four silvery ones remaining...

Queue commences on RM site at 9:00AM GMT. (6th Jan for individual Jubilee coins). The annual set is 4th Jan.

Thanks GoldDiggerDave for pointing this out, I forgot about the old dial phones and have gone off the coin now🙂 Will see what the horseback design looks like before making an actual decision, a silver proof one ounce might cost, at least, £100 to acquire🙄

The QB completer is the single most spectacular coin I have seen, for years, from the Royal Mint. Waiting for the Royal Tudor Beasts completer🤗🥳  (The Gothic Crown looks really good but I do not feel that I missed out on it🤔)

The telephone coin looks neat as well🙂

Well... I will wait it out until the 6th...very unlikely the annual 2022 set will sell out before then...the crown reverse with the Queen on horseback obverse will be my pick of the Platinum Jubilee coins...hope👼 I can get one in silver proof...would settle for nickel🙂

The horseback/equestrian obverse may look something like this:

I have just received a "the making of a Dynasty' brochure from RM. Now, this coin set contains 2 x Lions, 2 x Dragons and 2 x Panthers. Do you think each Beast will be depicted differently? Will you get, say, two Lions that look identical with only the heraldic shield to tell them apart? Or visualised from different angles of something? Not keen on a set where six coins are duplicates...🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 What do you think?

Number 4220 arrived in 1oz silver proof. Appears to be MS70😊 and no milk spots. Yet🙄. If I had to nitpick then the year '2022' is not centred correctly and appears to be too far to the left🤔...quietly chuffed😊
 

I really like how the Panther was visually personified, particularly on the physical coin, but have to agree that RM could have used a Tudor type font as seen above🙄. It looks like RM were going for a modern classic 'clean and tidy' approach with a san serif font and it appears this approach is what's dividing opinion🤔🙄.
