To be fair I think it is still better than the 2010 version. But The Royal Mint doesn't seem to want to impress the customers with the designs. |

But at least they try different designs unlike the other bullion coins.

Maybe this could be interesting topic.....which bullion silver coins change and which don't.

I'm not a big fan of this one, and with silver prices where they are and the large premiums you have to pay for Britannias vs. spot, I think I will pass and perhaps focus on some of the older ones I don't have yet...

North America's countries have changed their bullion. Canada had those Vancouver ones and the new wolf, Mexico redesigned the Libertad in the early 2000s, and the US has the Gold Buffalo for variety over the Double Eagle. I don't know what you guys are on... about...
Oh yeah, the guy in the wheelchair, he can be found on the US dime.

i think every other year a new design comes out for this coin, and inbetween they have the normal design.

The Guy? Hope she doesn't catch up to you. Remember the female of the species is the most vicious. By the way, while in Baltimore this weekend, I saw some incredible versions of Britannia on many different coins and tokens; I agree, that while the Union Jack is a nice touch, I would have tried to display it more artistically. While I didn't buy Britannia, I did pick up a few more pre-67 Canadian Dollars. They wanted way to much for the Wolf coins.

Learning from the words of others is sometimes painful. I knew someone would remember that post and how I was raked over the coals. In my defense....there is no defense. LOL
But that was how we were taught to remember them in the old days. I remember doing some research on them and the coin shop owner said; "You mean the guy in the wheelchair?" Whodathunkit!!

My order for the coin according to The Royal Mint has been completed....so I guess it is with the Royal Mail somewhere. |

I agree, it does look better in 3D. Still, at least I'd put Britannia over the Jack, not the other way around!
