It’s a storage tray for medication for when you turn old and grey and you’re still waiting for the Monarchs to be delivered from RM.

Maybe they can be rebranded - " The RM Collectors Starter Kit"

Milkspot storage.

I keep all my milkspotted silver coins in an old unwashed milk carton.  So, they look and smell like spoiled milk.

When is the next coin in the series to be released. I thought it was June?

Yes. I found the original schedule and June it is for George I.

Not many days left for the launch, they might be kicking back the dates due the the backlog

Why are the first two 1 oz gold proofs - Henry VII and James I still available at Royal Mint? Thought they would have been snapped up. Lovely series. Need deep pockets.

I think you answered your own question there. £5000 for those two coins.. strictly for deep pocket collectors not worried about re sale value.

Probably just the 10 oz James 1st

[BackyardBullion]

Yep, just the 10 oz james

[Zhorro]

All other James I coins are still available to order!  I would suggest that sales are not going that well - but they should be able to sell 150 of the 10oz coins.

The key coins are the 1 oz silver and 2 oz silver. All other sizes are just too expensive or impractical to collect all 21 versions!

[GoldDiggerDave]

They are just knocking out coins for what job lot of blanks they can get their hands on.

Still 1 available on back order.

Still think the RM missed a trick, instead of the faux hammered coin they could have just made a modern hammered coin with irregular blanks, would have also got round any quality issues.

Believe it or not even hammered coins can have quality issues.

Henry I - he knew how to deal with that.

Great design, I think it's the bombe 😀

To the right of the plaintext block is a column of ciphertext that reads "CD AND MD", who are the designers. 👌

It also reads GEARS GRIN THAN down the left side, which are the what3words code location for the end of the Kennedy Building at Cambridge University. Nice touches.
