This is the coin from the 2023 Annual Set.

Has something like this already been seen on IOM coinage. Hopefully better than that example!

Not a 50p or a birthday coin, nor floral. But basic design 

[westminstrel]

This is what it was in the annual set @Agaupl.

[Agaupl]

Ah yes.. I did see that.

So, why produce more coins?  It doesn't make sense!  And I can't see them being that popular.

Other than the 75th birthday coin, these are all coins that have already been minted, there was never going to be any new 1p, 2p etc. as they don’t need to mint any more of these at the moment due to numbers held. People will want to collect the first Charles set.

I believe all commemorative coins in the Annual Sets typically get their own individual release through the year.

This also reminds me that they had mentioned there would be a definitive set later this year, and I have a sinking feeling they will use the crowned portrait again. 🫤

This range is releasing tomorrow Monday 6 November.

I think most people are giving it a miss!  But then it will be rare - so maybe I should buy?!

[Shinus73]

The price increases on these over the last couple of years is ludicrous. I won't be adding this one.

It's the same price as the SOTD Coronation sovereign, which is clearly the more desirable coin.   

[westminstrel]

The 1/4 Oz is a nice tiny coin. I will be getting that. 

[Paul]

I'm not buying anything from today's launch

Jeez it's £3k for a gold £5 now

Within a year, soon to be available in coin auctions far and wide for a few hundred quid over it's melt value

For £850 it needs to come with a ticket to the party.

Mate this is the curse of the hobby!  If they did a special reverse everyone would be saying they are milking it but also falling over themselves to buy, if it’s a standard coin less people want it but it might be a dark horse in the future………

Why is there no love for the SOTD sovereign? It will be the only 2023 george and the dragon sovereign with an uncrowned portrait, making it seem even more special than the coronation SOTD.
