Were there Royal Mint 2020 and 2021 Piedfort Sovereigns?

Quick question, as per the title, thanks in advance!

Thank you! Do you have any links at all? I can find the Royal Mint 2019 sales page (and other websites talking about the 2019s) but nothing about 2020 and 2021. Maybe I am just being stupid!

Sure, here from the Royal Mint. 

Don't know if it's the settings on my phone but these look super bronze today

Many thanks but I'm looking for the Proof Piedfort Sovereign (still a £1 piece) not a Double (BU or Proof - £2).

Here's the 2019 Piedfort:

Quick answer, no.

Nothing......I don't think we will have that problem this year.  Any 2022 sovereign will be an instant sellout.  Think we will see them in every shape and size.

 

Thanks

Many thanks, I'm very surprised at that. Even if not a sell-out that is/was very short-term thinking by the Mint imvho. A new product introduced at a key time, then dropped for two years after a lukewarm reception in 2019, only to be brought back this year (I'm sure we all expect that!). It's an unnecessary break in continuity, and if the 2020s and 2021s were low sellers, they might do very well in years to come for customers who were loyal to the Mint for them!

You old tease you, what's the long answer?

The Piedfort gives the RM a second bite at the cherry, I bought the 2018 piedfort along with the BU £5 I came home plastered from the pub and did not realise I bought them until they were delivered a few days later.   

RM reverse frosted golds are stunning, I'd like to see a reverse frosted 2022 sovereign.

BUNC? I can't see them ever doing a different proof for reasons I've gone into already today, but if there was EVER a year to do one (and it would likely only ever be the one) it's this year!

I still want to buy a 2019 Piedfort Sovereign. If anyone has one for sale, let me know. 😀

All the mint sovereigns look Bronze to me this year, why would that be?

Looking at the RM page today as the 2022 Piedfort was released it said that after a 2 year break the piedfort returned, therefore implying that a 2020 was issued, however I cannot seem to find one on the internet....

They mean the last two years (2020 and 2021) there were no Piedfort Sovereigns released.

Only 2017, 2018 and 2019 saw these; and now 2022.
