I love that 2003 Brit.  Even though the 2003 design has a higher mintage than some of the other alternative designs, it’s still a looker of a coin.  Matte proof too.  Nice ?.

I’ve been looking for a nice old wooden box to keep my stack in for a while.  Came across this yesterday which is just fantastic.  I can’t wait to get it!! It’s a Victorian jewellery box dating for 1860-1890 and has been professionally restored.

Just kidding, everything is perfect.! Thanks @austack 

I received these today
Would have been even better with coins...

Thank you for all your replies.   A lot more interesting subject than I thought it would be

Right you three are now on the list!!
Chris will be sending your dismissal notices in the post.

I’m collecting the 20 francs/ Latin monetary union coins.  I have 7 with another 5 on the way.  They’re great to collect.  There are so many different varieties and some beautiful coins.
Most are around bullion value.  There are a few that are a bit more expensive as the mintages are lower. The most expensive I’ve come across so far is the finish 20 markkaa which is around £400.  I’m yet to acquire this coin but I will one day!!  I’ve had quite a few from coininvest over the last few yrs at reasonable prices. Baird have a few too.
Some of the coins have some great history behind them expecially the angel and the early nepolian bonaparte francs.  Out of all my stack, the 20 francs are my favourite.  

That's a pretty comprehensive list from @sixgunI've got about half of them and some of the others from the monetary union including 20 lira from the Vatican. At risk of being shunned by other forum members I'd say they were more interesting than Sovereigns 

Countries issuing coins equivalent to the French 20 gold francs are Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Danish West Indies, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Leichenstein, Romania and Switzerland - it is only Belgium and Switzerland that call them francs though!
One of my expensive coins is a Napoleon AN13 gold 20 francs from the Perpignan mint (Q) with a mintage of only 522 - the very few known in EF (couple? slabbed AU grade) are silly money - sold a bunch of sovereigns to pay for it but I hope it will do better in the long run
