That looks amazing. I would give my right bollock for that.

Just to clarify these aren't made of gold ?

Just to clarify these are Gold not chocolate.

There only seems to be one lot at the moment 🤷‍♂️

The 50p Kew went for obscene amounts of money in the last auction, this one is definitely going to be a record breaker! About £300k?

[NewCoins]

I am well out then!

Did you watch or bid on the last auction?

[Jeffers46]

No point unless you have serious dough to spend? I Fancy a look at the catalogue just to dream...

[SilverPlatinum]

I will start the bid at GBP1000 🙃

I just watched the auction, it was £26k for the 2019 gold Kew gardens, a bit too rich for my wallet I'm afraid.

It looks like the "normal" 1kg gold Una went for £219k on Britannia coin company, so that must be the starting price.

I believe it is actually 1 kg pure gold. 😵‍💫

Featuring the high relief Una pattern piece for the deep pockets...

[westminstrel]

These will all go for multiples of £1,000s.

Regardless that Una and the Lion is frikkin’ gorgeous. 😍

Anyone tempted to bid?

I will watch the sovereign pieces, and maybe the half sovs. Given the hammer prices of the September (?) auction, I am not likely to actually place a bid.

Did anyone realise the great, the glorious principle coin of the auction the HUGE una and lion has handling marks, scartches, harlines etc all over the place. Why RM just why, why did they treat this coin like this, and give the fact they are the mint can't they do something about it to improve the eye appeal of the coin? Though it would only be my problem if the centre of the coin is filled with chocolate😉
