Muscipula

To be honest I am a bit traditional and prefer the smaller coins - they are, to me, truly coins, akin to currency people carry around in their pockets. 😊
Also I find it marvellous that some of the most intricate designs have been incorporated on the tiniest of coins since centuries.
Reminds me of Boromir’s words concerning the One Ring:
It is a strange fate that the world should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing - such a little thing.

Anyone else a bit disappointed at the standard portrait of the Queen?

Exactly. I’ve read your post tonight and yesterday evening and I don’t understand why some still think the 2022 Proof sovereign will be a bit of a ‘flash in the pan’.
Some like the reverse design, some don’t. But regardless, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy and own a sovereign or a collection of sovereigns of any denomination that celebrates a monarch of 70 years.
I think the bullion sovereign will be very popular regardless but especially with those looking back with hindsight. Dare I also say it, might this be more popular perhaps than the 1989 sovereign.
A close contender or maybe a draw.
Only time will tell.

It’s not Amazon.  
There is an element of childishness in certain posts on this thread.
We should not be so impatient; our 2022 Sovereign’s will turn up soon enough.  Stop moaning and understand that there is a team of people experiencing pressure at this moment.  For most of the year they meet demand very well. It’s not deliberate, so certain necks need to be pulled in. 
Quality wise: our mint is outstanding.  BUT, reporting issues is a must.  It does have some issues that we need to raise.  But please - do it kindly… it’s more effective.

You’re beyond help now. You’re on the slippery slope and there’s no going back now. 😀
