Where is the excitement for this artwork? I received my coin and I am blown away by its beauty!

The COA number 777/1200

Is this a very lucky number?
Revised for actual Mintage.

This is nice coin, congrats!
But.....initially RCM advertized 1200 mintage, which is low for RCM 5oz coins. Now, they just added 300 more, making it usual 1500.
Well, I not surprised. With this amount of coins, they really don't remember what was promissed.

@silveroid

The mintage has always been 1200, as it states on the RCM website. I believe New1954 mistakenly wrote 1500 instead of 1200.

Thank you @CoinCanuck94 for catching the wrong Mintage listed.

I am in need of new glasses. Lol

I have revised my first post. So sorry to all for confusion. ;)))))

Now everything on its place.
Imagine "low mintage collectors" who hadn't yet received the coin. Small change of 300 units changes everything for them.

We can also confirm the mintage for that coin is 1200.

@McNickel: Thanks for posting the coin image. However, when folks here say "We Want Pictures" they are usually referring to images of an actual "in hand" coin vs. the images posted on RCM's web site. Such images give everyone a much better view of the coin's true appearance.

Do you have one of the Wanduta coins in your collection? Can you share an actual image?

I didn't get the Wanduta but did get the coloured cost of arms big coin. Looks better than the gold plated one.

Wanduta:-Portrait-Of-A-Chief

It is not a painted flat coin as some people think but it is on a raised design similar to the gilded coin. It also has an enamel look to it. Looks much better in person than in pictures. Pretty sure if people saw it in hand they will buy it.

This is interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunatelly, do not see the picture, just kind of icon.
But gilded, imo, is pretty stylish and more traditional. Except this, the layer is real 24-kt gold

Very nice MoneyPenney. The colours on your photo appear more vibrant than RCM's promo pics. It's quite fascinating, all the various symbolic components that the Coat of Arms consists of.

Anyone able to share a photo of the Wanduta?
