Different teams, different marketing .. they don’t talk to each other. Bullion team goes to 2 DP but rounds down as minimum gold quantity. Proof team does it right.
Are the blanks even different before prep?
interesting pick up though. -

The Royal Mint's remit is to ... mint. It promotes dealership competition rather than enforcing a monopoly by setting its spreads to be relatively wide. Flipped the other way would you rather no other dealership being able to compete because RM's spreads were the tightest/smallest/best! It's spreads are in effect a maximum cap that other dealerships wont be inclined to extend beyond. Competition is good, as is having maximum caps on spreads.
It's teams are focused upon distribution of its minted products around the world and has many partnerships for that purpose, such as a partnership with Chards - who then retail to the general public - and where obviously in being able to sell at smaller/tighter spread are supplied by the RM at a lower spread than what the RM opts to directly retail the same product for to the general public.
Royal mint’s remit is to make money. I think everyone wants them to be successful it’s just the trading on the history, image and name of the Royal mint to sell substandard or over priced c**p that is grating. I don’t buy the ‘promoting competition’ line. They simply overcharge to people that don’t know better.
Juxtapose The Perth mint .. historic in its own sense, a huge government owned institution (granted not a circulating currency maker), lbma registered , and I think quite a-bit larger than RM on the bullion side (although I might be wrong).
It also sells retail, doesn’t price gouge on current releases (although their limited historic sets are equally inflated tbh), has plenty of domestic completion and importantly doesn’t have the QA problems like Royal mint esp on proofs.
Personally I prefer royal mint releases and designs though, which makes it even more infuriating they do so poorly for their customer who they ‘listen closely too’. Esp in the QA area.

It’s a very interesting story for sure and one for the collection … but they aren’t exactly rare and £625 extracts the urine a bit too much

If the City Views series has just resumed after a pause of 1.5 years, I'd be surprised if this one stops for good.
I thought the same. Only thing that made me think twice was the possibility of cashing in on the Olympics to shift a Paris coin.
