I saw this on The European Mint's website a few weeks back and decided to add one to my Group Order list.
It did come at a bit of a premium, but as with most things from the Perth Mint, the quality is of the highest order
I seem to be really getting into Aussie coins of late
 

Thanks. The coin was meant to come with a Coa, but it didn't... the seller wasn't the most helpful (no-one from here), but the coin was only £100 so I can't complain too much! 

Think she likes her new home. Thanks for the box @MikeSol.
Just need to find a CofA now and I'll have finished my build-your-own proof tenth oz britannia! 

Slightly poignant one here today consdiering the D-Day 75th Anniversary that has just passed. This came up for sale from a dealer who I think confused it for a normal silver 1oz Maple as the price was on par with those. It is a 2004 reverse proof SIlver 1oz Maple featuring a double privy mark which would have been for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day. Mintage according to Numista is 11698 so nice to add one of the lower mintage Maple privy's to the collection.

Bonus pic...busted out of their cages and released into the wild.....

I like the Indian head but love the eagle on the reverse.

You're probably not wrong! 
But what the heck - my late father was on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, and so it seemed a fitting momento of his small part in the Allied war effort.

Bought my first ever proof silver coin this afternoon off EBay......
One of the D-Day proof silver £2 coins for £59 + £4 P&P - instead of £67.50 + £5 P&P from the Royal Mint, plus a bit of TopCashback and Nectar action - "am well 'appy", as the youth of today say

Slightly off topic, but my friend who has the Middle Eastern coin collection fled Kuwait when Iraq invaded. His house in Kuwait was overrun and occupied and I think they tried to use it as a defensive position.  
When he returned post liberation, he fully expected to find his coin collection gone. The soldiers looted things like TVs, Satellite dishes etc and left the house in a dreadful mess, but missed the coins which were in a box in the basement

Bullion By Post has what appears to be a genuine Saudi gold guinea in stock and what a truly magnificent world coin! It’s the same size as a British gold sovereign.

Well it’s pure silver and I was lucky to pick up 5 of them at spot a little while back. Much nicer than the other St George attempts. 

I like it, but really the 'Valiant' is basically the silver version of the sovereign.

Picked these up over the weekend from @Heisenberg - really pleased 
 

Ding Dong 🔥🔥🔥
 
Been trying to get my hands on one of these for years, finally got it 🙌🙌🙌

Sorry, but.....YUK!
