New Isle of man 2oz piedfort proof Angel

[Silverstackeruk]

What's your thoughts on these...999mintage

Also 0.5g gold proof  mintage 15000

[Silverstackeruk]

There high relief..

[sovereignsteve]

Nice, although I'm not sure about the piedfort design. Are they on sale yet?

[Jester]

The obverse looks like a mashup of QEII and Ronald Reagan. It would be a pass for me. Is this the first Isle of Man coin not minted by Pobjoy? 

That said, I am completely smitten with the older Isle of Man Platinum Nobles that has the younger, more true to life portrait of QEII and the Viking ship on the reverse.

Its out in October.

Yes the queen looks funny because that's how she looks now lol!

 

Looks nice..im not buying any but thought I would contribute to the forum as it's getting quiet these days with all the crypto going on ?

Agreed... There's something weird about how the Queen looks. It's almost as if she's just smelled something funny, or someones come into the room and she's not happy about it :D. 

The reverse is nice though!

The Queen effigy is actually just a version of the Jody Clark portrait, but with added shoulders. I think the differences in look are because of the high-relief strike.

It looks much sharper in gold, but that could be lighting. Is the gold one frosted?

What will one of these likely cost upon release?

I'm guessing if these are such high relief they will be very difficult to stack and also find a capsule for, St Michael seems as though he'd actually be higher than the rim of the coin

This isn't a bullion coin and at the likely price of these (€180) you won't be stacking them....

No, it's a standard proof coin. CIT rarely release anything but actual coin images, but this is one of those rare cases when they released renders instead. These minigold coins usually go for £55-60.

At that price i wouldn't be buying one either.

I'd expect to see bullion coins later, but not from CIT who deal with higher-end commemoratives. Tower Mint are striking circulating  coins for the Isle of Man and they may well be the ones dealing with bullion, but it won't be CIT.

If the gold would have been 1/4oz or bigger i would have considered buying one, but 0.5g is just too small

Agreed

Also, just watched the little video above, when the coin is turning the queen seems to have a manly face at one point, or is it just me when you look at the mouth area?

I saw that too! The surrealistic mirror finish reflects the high relief in a frankly creepy way.

How much is that 2oz silver gonna cost by the way?

[Jay2]

It's the BFG, to my eyes.

I think they've made her look less manly ?

If you want to see an ugly royal coin, check out the 2003 Prince William coin issued for Alderney...

[Jay2]

Yikes.

I told you guys earlier in the thread...Ronald Reagan. Look at the jowls and mouth. Am I right or am I right?
