This does not sound like the design used on the "Ounce" Coronation coins.  So, is this a completely new design??

Yes, it's a new design, and it doesn't seem to be a crowned portrait either.

Indeed this seems to be a different design from the description.

I think it will be the crowned portrait. The term “Our Effigy” covers both the uncrowned and crowned portraits, and the Royal Mint had said the crowned portrait would be used for the Coronation range of coins.

If it's the crowned portrait I think it will be quite popular. Could be a good buy potentially.

I'm definately going to be gunning for one, but it'll be the 3rd portrait on a 2023 1 oz gold coin 🤣

[Stuntman]

Thanks for sharing.  I'll probably look to buy a 1oz gold version of this, and I hope it does indeed have the crowned effigy.

I was going to pair each of my 2023 QEII ouncer with a 2023 KCIII Britannia. Now I might have to split between Britannia and this one.

I'm not sure if there would be a crowned obverse Britannia though. The Gazette does not state for which series of coins a royal permission is granted, but only the denomination, size, etc. But they will likely have proclaimed the regular 2023 Britannia so it's a possibility and a further stretch on my finances...

[Upsidedown]

Reading again I can see you're right, the classic britannia will be separate but remain in production seems like. But the special one will say 6th may so a crowned portrait on that one wouldn't be surprising.

I wonder if it'll be priced the same as it will be just bullion.. or maybe a 200% markup because its "collectable" 🙄

[Stuntman]

On my reading of the proclamation I think it is quite likely that there may be a bullion Britannia with the crowned effigy.  Otherwise there would be no need for it to be included in the proclamation, and it strengthens the case that the bullion Coronation coins will have the crowned effigy.

We'll find out soon enough 🙂

That's what i thought initially, but maybe it just means the normal version will run concurrently with the crowned one.

That would be a lot going on, but this is the royal mint so who knows

[westminstrel]

I did see the Britannia specs in here but assumed it was for the already released Britannia.

You guys seem to have hit the nail on the head though - this one might be part of the Coronation range, and with the crowned portrait.

Now that the Coronation Proof Sovereign range is out, people have been wondering (in several different topics) when the crowned portrait will be featured next.

Just bumping up this post, because this here coin will almost certainly be the one. 🙂

[Agaupl]

Good chance. Pity if so as it’s really milking the cow. I’m not buying this one! .. not even silver… honestly. Well maybe silver. 😭

[westminstrel]

It’s that time again…

I just re-read this… it means even the Britannia will have the crowned portrait.

The Royal Mint really seems to know how to start off with something exclusive and then mass produce it… in the millions. 😆

Exactly the same thoughts...I was surprised to see that Britannia will be "crowned" also, but...just business. Surprisingly, just announced Royal Arms 2023 don't have crowned portrait 😃

Oh I didn’t see the Royal Arms announcement.

Here in the US, GovMint/Modern Coin Mart is selling a PF70 Ultra Cameo REVERSE proof of the 2 oz. Coronation silver.  I didn't know that a reverse proof of this coin was minted, but it sure looks awesome.
