Who's buying nothing tomorrow??? 

I get you on some level… but what makes the woman a depiction of Una besides the fact the RM says it is?
Rhetorical question. 🙂
When William Wyon did the original, he did so to honour the young Queen Victoria (who had ascended the throne at the age of 18) by drawing upon the ideas from the Faerie Queene by Edmund Spencer - Una (a young Queen Victoria) leading a mighty lion (the UK).
Una and the Lion as depicted on a coin is filled with deep meaning, and imo ‘belongs’ to Queen Victoria.
Hence my continuous wondering as to what makes any random woman ‘Una’.
Britannia on the other hand has always been symbolic of the UK itself so I can understand its design ‘evolving’ (for better or for worse).

Your a monster! Caitlyn Jenner and the Lion will be a hit.

The more I look at the una and the lion the worse it gets! What a terrible design. That face is a mess, looks like it has been melted!
 
 The una bar they did a few years ago was a stunner, this is garbage and I suspect the rest of the range will be the same

I'm not convinced that is a woman on that bar.
 That aside you are correct, hopefully they will sell about 6 of these ugly things and forget about the idea of a series

I think people need to stop looking at daily charts. Price was below £1500 just 3-4 months ago!

So...just saw this on Facebook. The mint were posting about the launch of the dragon and were asked about the bullion Panther. The representative said there will not be one, when asked to clarify they confirmed no bullion Panther.
 This surely must be a mistake, who on earth would think that's a good idea? If, as I assume, it's a mistake then who the hell handles their social media advertising? That's a big **** up

I suppose if there was some kind of rule about monarchs not being aloud to change on a coin design then we wouldnt have the soverign any more...or the great engravers

So far the panther is my favourite. I'm already starting to save for the 1oz gold completer lol.... that'll be a belter!

Be like a who's who of party animals on the 90s rave scene. 

I reckon they'll release the bullion panther last. I can't see them releasing it alongside a proof version of another beast. There will most definitely be a bullion version of the panther and I'd bet my left leg there will be a completer.

I know but I've not bought much recently and this is a nice big chunk that might just tip me over the kg of gold mark, need to add it up.
 Anyway, deals done, all paid and happy with the price. 
 So much for trying to get cash together and not buying gold for a while...that plan never works out does it?

I had one before and sold it...kind of regretted it as it was nice to have a piece I didn't mind handling. I do remember it being a bugger to sell though so this one at basically spot works for me.

The lighting is really c**p at the place where I have my deposit box and I hadn't got my coronation set back from grading yet.
 
Modest by some standards here but not bad for about 2 and a half years. I do love my queens beast collection as that was a chore to collect without massively overspending.
 Not too far away from a kilo, I would be there by now but my recent forays in to proof have impacted on 'weight' as a priority.

I'll have it
