It's close but now how I remember it. The lion was much more prominent. I saw the 10oz die being polished and I'm sure it looked much nicer than that.

The 10 oz white lion won't be out until March 2020, the 10 oz Falcon will be released in September ?

They may work on them well in advance. It was def the lion as I asked to see it and they showed me

Not that keen but hard to do a second lion after the first one

Let’s hope not - seems to be doing jazz hands.

The Anthropomorphic Lion has just given a speech at the lectern and is about to shake the hands of the person he has introduced.

I also don't like the anthropomorphic look, it's just strange.

I hope not.

We’ve had a pox ridden goat, a gay lion is just adding insult to injury!

But I have to add it to the collections.

It's strangely resembling a lot of the first lion draft version (sans the crown) https://blog.royalmint.com/behind-design-queens-beasts-series/

The one posted is a fan mock up from memory i believe of when they saw it being minted. Whomever created the mocked up coin has a lot of talent

Ich finde den Löwen cool und werde mir wieder 2 Stück für meine Sammlung kaufen.

Bin neu hier im Forum und finde es toll dabei zu sein.

Somehow this makes me think of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe... Definitely not one of my favourites in the series, but that's just my personal taste.

It's just a fan mock up. No actual images have  been released

No way someone put this much effort into a mock up, I'd be shocked if this wasn't real 

I think dealers get sent images early under instruction not to release them, I guess one of them leaked it

You are right sir. I am really really disappointed

Not that impressed with the new coin.  I have decided that the back paw should be holding something.
Here is my version. The Duff Lion.

With many first impressions being quite negative about the Mortimer Lion, what do you all think it will do to premium of Lion of England and the others?

Will it boost the Lion of England premium, now that we know it will be the best design of both lions?

Will it cut premiums for the entire series with the second Lion having been the most anticipated of the remaining last designs.

I don't think it will do anything to the premiums of the other coins in the series.

Is the lion "blinged"?  Looks like it's wearing rings on each finger/paw.

Knuckle-dusters by the looks of it, probably from the same dealer where he got his steroids.

NO NO NO NO! 

And what is with the sunglasses!

[AgCoyote]

I like the coin. I was expecting a much less assertive looking lion.
