thank you 

The £5 BU has usually been released in the middle of the year around June / July.
It was only the Memorial and Coronation £5 BUs that were released in conjunction with the respective Proof ranges (for obvious reasons).
So you’re most likely looking at mid-2024 for the 2024 £5 BU.

The next sovereign will be the first to have combined privy marks of Ukraine, Israel flags and an added rainbow 🌈 🌈 🌈 so it is seen as inclusive, representative and diverse

hoping to pick up a few more this year in the gold and silver

Well, the 1/4oz arrived in the mail this morning. Imo I'm really liking the design more now. While it'd not everyone's cup of tea having KCIII one their money, well its personal choice. 
 

I recognise this photo from a certain FB group I'm in. 😀

I think the Coronation ounce designs may be the exception to the "forgotten in 6 months" rule.  I think the design is superb, I love the colour of the gold and it comes in an expensive box - I've bought a quarter ounce from a dealer (and a 1/40 oz on the secondary market - obviously no box).  I've also bought a SOTD sovereign from a dealer but in terms of design I rate the ounce design over the sovereign.  Yes, I know a lot more people collect sovereigns, so in the long-run I think they will probably do better than the ounce designs.
As to the forthcoming Coronation Proof sovereign, if it is essentially the 2023 Proof sovereign, then surely we should be expecting a mintage of 10,000-15,000 for the Proof sovereign?

Already have the 1oz corornation gold proof and the SOTD coronation sovereign being graded  and  ive cleared my credit card put money to one side for this 5 coin set,£5 BU, Piedfort sovereign  going to be well skint  as for the otheres for me the 1/2 sovereigns with a low mintage should be an option as well
