Looks like I made this too easy!

But how about more detail?

Yes, again!😎

As I mentioned a previous occasion when the RM used our photos, without permission:

... and there is at least one other example.

I reckon boob 1 is it's a bare head not laureate.
Not too sure about boob 2, unless they think it's Marsh No. 90 and it aint.

I agree on Boob 1, it appears to be showing the obverse of the 1823 double sovereign.

Another challenge!

Who can spot where these sovereign photographs come from?

... and ...

The best answer could win a pint.

So, here is the Royal Mint's page:

Another Boob:

Here is what an 1879 (Melbourne Mint) Young Head St. George Reverse Gold Sovereign looks like:

Spot the difference?

The RM page shows a shield obverse!

As can be seen here:

Perhaps you should offer to sell your superior images to the RM, or anyone else for that matter?

We never sell them, but we do sometimes license their use, under strict conditions.

We take legal action against copyright infringers.

These are photos of an actual 1823 gold sovereign:

and the reverse:

... in case the Royal Mint wants to know what the real thing looks like!
