Is this description above actually correct ? 

I thought the Jody Clark portrait with the "Shield/Mantle" design was ONLY available the in annual set, with 100 mintage 

The "Horse back" & "Shield Mantle" gold £5 is the more common and was a higher mintage of 400 

 

Am I right ? or is the auction house wrong ??   that much stuff came out for the Platinum Jubilee i cannot recall if i'm right or not and totally missed it 

If anyone can help or advise that would be great

@westminstrel  can you confirm ? am i right on this above - thanks

Did you wind up winning it? I am just seeing this but 95% sure your suspicions were right. The big selling point of the annual sets was that they were the only way to get certain coins with the Jody Clark portrait. This was the main way the mint marketed them. I didn't buy the gold set but did buy the silver set for this reason as I figured it would make the £5 coin the rarest version of that coin in silver. Obviously the same is true though only rarer in gold.

Good find and well spotted especially if you wound up getting it.

Sorry I have just woken up here in Sydney and it looks like the auction has ended already.

I do remember very well that one of the selling points of the Annual Sets was that they were the only way to obtain the Jody Clark portrait version of the Platinum Jubilee coins.

However, I just did a brief search for the press release (as the page on the RM seems to be no longer available, but I will find the archived version of it later) and here what I found.

They only state the Limited Edition Presentation as 100.

So it is possible they sold the remaining 300 exclusively to some entity?

I’ll poke around and see what I can find.

FWIW That's what Britannia Coin Company says - the Jody Clark portrait with the "Shield/Mantle" design was only available the in annual set, with 100 mintage.

The "Horse back" & "Shield Mantle" gold £5 was a higher mintage of 400 - per RM.

That's the 2oz .999 coin. Paul's is the 22 carat one from the annual set.

Yes thanks, I know what coin Paul has - I was merely pointing out that result for the higher mintage 2oz'er. Anyway, moving on.
