2023 Bullion Britannias Due Out Soon? Queen Elizabeth II Portrait? - Clues and Guesses
This month we, @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer, only received an allocation of 10,000 x 2022 silver Britannias, compared with 20,000 in recent months. If given a choice, we would probably have elected for 30,000 instead.
Is this significant?
Also we have not been able to buy more 2022 gold Britannias for the past few weeks, after receiving almost whatever quantities we wanted.
Is this significant?
While the first of these two events might have merely reflected international demand, and some "rationing" the second event seems to have only one obvious explanation. There must be an imminent change.
I must admit that I do not know the exact dates last year when any of the one ounce bullion Britannias were released, but I seem to remember October being mentioned somewhere, probably on TSF.
When I wrote this 
last week, I wrote this:
2022 Bullion Issues
As with circulation coins, we expect gold, silver, and platinum bullion coin issues to continue with QEII portrait and titles, at least until the year end, and probably into early 2023. This will include Britannias and sovereigns.
If I had been correct, there would be no good reason for us to be unable to place further orders for them. Therefore, the explanation must be different.
My new theory is therefore that 2023 dated gold and silver Britannias must be due out very soon, probably during October. As it is extremely unlikely that these will have King Charles III on them, they must still be Queen Elizabeth II.
Now, what about sovereigns?
Again, I don't remember the exact issued dates for last year (2022!), but I think it may have been January, in which case, I would expect that the 2023's will also be issued in January. By then, the Royal Mint will have had a good three months to get approval for new designs, mainly new a new portrait of King Charles, so I expect the 2023 gold sovereigns will be in his name.
We are aware of a slight delay before we can obtain more 2022 bullion sovereigns, but we recently received 1,500 which we had ordered a week or two ago, so our current stock may last until we can get more.
As the gold sovereign is regarded as the Royal Mint's flagship coin, I believe that it may be one of the first coin denominations to receive the new King's portrait, and also that it is such an important symbolic and iconic coin, that to issue it with Charles' portrait dated 2022 would be almost unthinkable, yet the Mint will surely wish it to be in the vanguard of his issues.
It will be worth keeping a keen eye on the London Gazette for Privy Council announcements or proclamations of new coin designs, which should lend more certainty to my theories and guesswork.
Unitl the, if anyone can confirm any of the above, or correct me, please post your responses here.
And, in the likely event that anyone sees any relevant London Gazette Privy Council notices, please let us all know.

Had some 'spare' cash in the RM account, so thought i'd get some smaller 2022 Sovereigns for a bit of a change.
Postie left them on the doorstep!! 🤔

Gold Yales not arrived yet but a few more of these did

A nice delivery from @Midasfrog. Another few Victoria Sovereigns for the collection.
Taking into account all of the years, mint marks, die sets and known errors, i only have about 2000 left to find then i'll have all of the Young Heads!!

Received today 2016 Three-Coin Premium Set

Few coppers and some other bits and pieces today

Today I received a package from @LiquidMetalsUK, some true works off art. Thx James, keep up the good work👍
 
 

With the sad passing of Her Majesty, I wanted to mark my collection by finding something from the first year of Her reign having a wider collection of more modern coins. So, Im not a Maundy collector and certainly have nowhere near the depths of knowledge as some on this forum, such as @richatthecroft, but I had the opportunity to pick up this rarely available, inaugural Maundy set for QEII, handed out by Her at Westminister Abbey in 1953. A mintage of 1025 and markedly different to any other Maundy under Her reign, being struck in sterling silver and the only set having BRITT:OMN in the legend (dropped from 1954). As a sovereign and half sovereign collector in the main, I would have liked something in gold, but those are a far greater rarity.
