Not sure, but the 2021 edition was released last year around mid of March time...

I'm not the best reading stuff like this. But does it say, there could be the 2021 2 OZ Britannia instead of a new one, dated 2022?

FIVE POUND SILVER COIN

4. (1) A new coin of silver of the denomination of five pounds shall be made, being a coin of a standard weight of 62.86 grammes, a standard diameter of 40 millimetres, a standard composition of not less than 999 parts per thousand fine silver, and being circular in shape.

.....

(a) a depiction of Britannia at different ages in her life accompanied by the inscription “BRITANNIA 2022 2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER”; or

(b) a depiction of the figure of Britannia aside a seated lion and the inscription “BRITANNIA 2OZ 999 FINE SILVER” and the date “2021”.

Not generally yet. One has 3 women on and the other is the typical single woman on. The 3 woman one looks particular weak in design imho.

Do you know, why the gazzette announcement says, that there could be a 2 OZ Britannia in different ages, OR the 2021 2 OZ Britannia with lion?

One has 3 women on which is the 3 ages, the other has a woman with a shield with a lion on.... Maybe that's it.

But it says dated 2021, the same Britannia with Lion?

(a) a depiction of Britannia at different ages in her life accompanied by the inscription “BRITANNIA 2022 2 OZ 999 FINE SILVER”; or

(b) a depiction of the figure of Britannia aside a seated lion and the inscription “BRITANNIA 2OZ 999 FINE SILVER” and the date “2021”.

That may be bullion, they are 2022 with the new designs . Cos they don't change the bullion one so that would be my guess is what that quote is from.
