Just got to save to afford one now 🙂

[Martlet]

That is good.  Hopefully they can come up with technical solution to poor QC on proofs?

[Foster88]

I wonder if that’s just for the 1oz Britannia’s or if it will include the 1/2’s, 1/4’s and 1/10th’s too.

[Cornishfarmer]

That is a beautiful coin

[Stuntman]

Nice.  Might have to add one to the collection when it comes out!

[Coolsmp]

Looks like it will be on the 1/4

[Coolsmp]

They go on sale 19th October

It certainly is a stunning coin, that's all I can say right now 😉😉😉

[Augustus1]

does it reflect the value of gold that they are trying hard  to combat fakes now in coins as well as notes  ?.

this made me smile

I think it is a positive thing though I think it still won't prevent some people from buying forgeries. The Royal Canadian Mint has been using similar technology for a number of years now across its entire bullion range but of course these coins still get faked and people still buy them. Its painfully obvious comparing something like a genuine maple to a fake maple especially with the security features and micro engraving but again if you don't know what to look for and haven't educated yourself you aren't going to see it. So with that said it would be nice if the Royal Mint publicized this more prominently and I'd also like to see them follow the RCM's lead and use this technology across their entire bullion range - not just the gold coins.

[BackyardBullion]

It's partly about the security features but I suspect there is quite a bit of competition between the bug mints of the world to have the best minting technology and this certainly elevates the Royal mint up high.

In due course you will understand how amazing this minting is if you follow my YouTube channel!

I had a feeling you’d have seen it. 😆

[Abyss]

Found this on YouTube Royal Mint website - looks stunning

 

[GoldStatue]

I was wondering if they were going to try and put the security feature on a bullion sovereign and how the design may turn out.

If they're willing to do it on a 1/4oz Britannia then a sovereign might be just as economical to use it on.
