UK reverse proof coins?

[*tada*]

It strikes me today that the Royal Mint hasn't really produced many reverse proof coins, like ever? If you know any please kindly post in the reply.

Now imagine a special year (2022 come into mind) sovereign gold reverse proof...hum

They've produced reverse proof Britannias for APMEX each year since at least 2016, but these are the only ones that I know of...

TBH I'm not exactly sure what a reverse proof is

Modern Proof coins often have mirror-like fields and frosted devices. Reverse Proof coins would have frosted fields and mirror-like devices.

I like them. Bet they are hard to get hold of in the UK.

Reversing the texture of a silver proof coin doesn't make it a proof, more likely a BU version as are most BU silver coins with a mirrored relief and a frosted/patterned field. Normally the coin is struck several times to sharply define the frosted relief on a proof coin, so what is the point in multi striking a coin with a mirrored relief?  I believe 'reverse proof' is misleading terminology, although I have seen it on an NGC label to describe this coin. I can see the attraction of a positive / negative  effect  in a 2 coin set, but to me the 'reverse proof' has not had that careful striking of the proof - in fact I think its pretty awful. Get the RM to state that I am wrong and I will buy one!

By this definition, almost every Perth Mint silver bullion coin is a reverse proof.
