I hope people aren’t also going to question why she appears to have 6 fingers. 😏

Everytime I look at this coin, all I see is Jason Manford’s mascot on 8 out of the ten cats show. The arse end and legs and back is exactly the same !
 

Hi All,
Here is an interesting graph that describes the mintages of Sovereigns per year.
Not sure how the graph will display so bear with me!

I was the only one in my economics class that could see it. Even some tutors were sniggering at house prices or had a smile when looking at the markets. Its all well good for them when they sit back and watch their kids, grandkids and descent unborn get destroyed. The arrogance is astounding but it merely reflects the cowardice in many because at no point did they ever have it in them to do anything about it. 

@ady It's always been the case just now we are seeing a hyper accelerated effect.  Jobs now do not pay anywhere close to what they did in relative terms.
My dad was a humble paint spryer in a factory yet this was enough to buy a 3 bed house raise 4 kids and my mum was a house wife.   That same paint spryer job today to buy the same house raise 4 kids and have mum at home would need to pay at least 65-70K per year to have the same relative wealth. 
The job today would be luck to pay 21k per year.  wages in this instance have lost more than 3 times their value in 40 years.  regardless of other financial effects, like interest rates and inflation. 
Oh and I forgot to mention it was enough to pay for the old man to be in the local club boozing 5 nights a week.  Thats another £200 per week right there.

Haven't they already defied logic with the 4 legged tripod?

Yes, they sell you a nice proof sovereign for £630.00 and then give a nice bottle of something to drink. When you wake up you have a quarter sovereign in your hand and you are told everything is normal.

I did a quick mockup showing one of the beasts with its shield as on original coin. As you can see there's definitely not the room to accommodate the shield on the 1oz coin for all of the beasts.

When it does happen Pete. I will look at making an amendment to the foam base for those that want it of course, I'm already working on a solution for the 1oz proof collectors to adapt the foam to accommodate 11 coins. There is space for this on all the boxes I've produced, in the case of the 10oz the simplest most cost effective solution will be to place 6 coins in the base, which will then allow the completer to sit in the middle of the removeable wooden tray and be the center piece. So its not the end of the world for any of my customers. Just got to wait and see and give me the time to sort out a solution when the time comes...
 
 

It's definitely coming acording to the Gazette, and I suspect the mintage won't be limited.  So the price should be similar to other 10 oz QB silver bullion coins.
I'm fully intend to buy one.
