Includes Trial of the Pyx sales - some are much lower that the 6-10 you might expect.

Interesting that they only sold single 1kg and 2kg special issue gold Bond coins but they both had the plaque number 007. I guess you can command to be choosy when you're spending that much  

Anything else interesting in there?

I suppose for many of us, the Sovereign figures are the key ones:

I've just noticed, there is no Brexit SOTD Sovereign listed.  When it was released, the controversial aspect of it was its price - £800.  Did this put people off, or did they all sell out?  From memory, I'm sure they did all sell out  The strike limit was 1,500.

They have some interesting entries like:

Bought back - 75th Anniversary of the End of the Second World War 2020 UK £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin and Stamp Set

Do they only publish this stuff 3 or 4 years in arrears ?

The 2023 minatge numbers became (IMO) insane after the 2022 QE2 Jubilee sovs, way too many memorials, Coronations, etc, etc.

Yeah, made me wonder whether someone pasted something from a spreadsheet without realising what it meant.

Looks like it.

The other weird thing is that there's a bunch of 2019-dated coins from the 2020 trial of the pyx in there.

In classic Royal Mint fashion, it was under the 50p section:

Anyone noticed the sales figure of 2020 Britannia pieces?
