One better the coin from the spink 2016

 

Sexy new coin but not sure what it really is.

PROCLAMATION:
For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year,
and for the reverse a depiction of St George, armed, sitting on horseback, attacking a dragon with a sword, and a broken spear upon the ground with the inscription “HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE”. The coin shall have a plain edge and in excuse letters the inscription “DECUS ET TUTAMEN · ANNO REGNI II ·”.’

DENOMINATIONS:
- Gold 5kg, 2kg, 1kg, 5oz, 2oz
- Silver 1kg, 5oz, 2oz and 10oz piedfort
 
MY COMMENTS:
Can’t be a Sovereign because of the specification of the denomination in the coins, their weights, and the variations in metal.
Also not sure if it is part of the Great Engravers series, because William Wyon’s St. George and the Dragon does not have the garter inscription (the circumscription is TREU UND FEST), nor does it have the edge inscription, as far as I know. The Garter design is by Benedetto Pistrucci (more below).
Finally, ANNO REGNI II means the Second Year of the Monarch’s Reign, meaning (to be very literal) September 2023 to August 2024 of King Charles’ reign.
Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1820 £2 pattern Sovereign does have an edge inscription of DECUS ET TUTAMEN • ANNO REGNI LX which was the 60th year of the Reign of King George III in 1820; however to complicate matters, this pattern coin does NOT have the Garter inscription. The 1819/19 Crown by Benedetto Pistrucci does have both the Garter and edge inscriptions.
So, my deduction is perhaps that this coin does after all continue the Great Engravers series (or maybe the Royal Mint finally caught on to my idea and is doing a series of St. George and the Dragon designs!), and they’ve combined the £1 Sovereign’s Garter design with the edge inscription from the £2 Sovereign to come up with a representative sample of Benedetto Pistrucci’s work. 

Just a standard BU set for me. I like the designs on the whole, the 50p salmon is a bit… different.
Tempted by some of the other limited sets but just couldn’t pull the trigger. Gold set is currently all reserved, that was pretty expensive.

Really liking the looks of those

I see James Dyson went to the same design school so maybe we will finally have the great vacuum cleaner immortalised on a coin!

When new sovereigns do cost £1,000, I expect we'd all be used to £900 for a sovereign and before that, £800 a sovereign and so on.
If we're approaching a decade of deflation, I wonder what will deflate and not only that, but what will inflate, as value doesn't just "disappear", like magic.
A drop in the housing market is my best guess and uplift in precious metals?  Possibly...

My 2021 gothic crown has arrived 😃

Interesting post. 

Very similar writing style to our Barry! Perhaps you went to the same school

Was trying to have an actual conversation but ok, I will remain calm and dignified, even though I didn't understand a word you just said.....not really one for internet fights.
 Mr collector number one sends his best.

Found it! Its the St James House Company. Some lovely bits of silver here. Still don't know re the foreign mark

Bravo Gordy! 

Looks like this one is going back😔
Cracked capsule and frosting is peppered all around the portrait side.
How easy is it to return?

Giving advice is fine.Potential or actual defamatory accusation I would advise steering clear of without cast iron proof and a bloodygood lawyer..
 
Journalists never have to pay for their  **** ups….if it sells papers/clicks and the latter outweighs the bottom line….think about the journalistic cesspit.

OK, well can I offer some advice then?
The investing/collecting of PM's needs knowledge when buying anything as the markets change quickly researching the various avenues is very helpful when entering into this murky world of PM's
Any new member on here who is new to this gets as much help as needed when they ask and some just scour the threads to learn
There are small buyers on here who can only afford little purchases when they have the funds to very large big buyers who have a wealth of knowledge.
When looking for what you want you should try different dealers and sellers and even look abroad. There are avenues for buying not just in Europe but as far away as Hong Kong and the USA/Canada and these can be worth looking at as sometimes you can buy what you want from these companies cheaper than in the UK and that's including shipping costs and VAT costs. I have bought from far and wide both bullion and semi-numismatics without difficulty.
It just takes time and effort and investing your time wisely.
We all make mistakes when buying the shiny stuff and an intelligent buyer will learn from it and move on and make the next purchase more informed and with less risk to getting fingers burned.
Whether you are an invester in big bucks or a hobbyist it is never a weakness to ask for advice as you can guarantee there will be someone out there with more knowledge than you.
You got burned and never took the advice offered so this thread went nuclear.
I personally have a plan when buying and that includes bullion, semi-numismatics and proofs. I keep certain proofs as i like them and flip others to allow a purchase of more bullion which adds to my portfolio without risk so if i can flip a proof that i bought for a couple of hundred and make a decent profit then go straight out and buy 25oz's of bullion in a pure intrinsic value point of view i've made a decent choice. However the proof may rise in value and higher than the bullion i bought but am i bothered? no because i have swapped 2oz's for 25oz's with little to no risk
I dont know anyones path on here and we all have an opinion on what's right but my view is to anyone, you do what you deem right and don't condemn others because they like silver over gold or vice versa and don't criticize flippers as that is there plan and they enjoy the game. 
If i am after a proof from the RM and find myself in a huge 2350 next in line queue I wont worry about it. i move on and shrug my shoulders as its not worth getting my knickers in a twist over a piece of gold/silver.
What will be will be, but also if i may add, if i do find a coin i want and i miss out be god i will 100% research all options before i buy as you can guarantee you could find it cheaper elsewhere, this place is fantastic for deals but if you alienate the members no-one will sell to you.
Lastly, i still believe you are a reporter as that link you posted had you named as additional reporting.
Love and piece, 
Gordy 

I preferred the original version....
...but...
Are we restricted to only one per customer?
I would prefer a matching pair.
