2017 Silver Britannia Proof

Whats everyone's thoughts on the 2017 Britannia design? Most of you have probably already talked about it but I'm new to this so will have missed a lot!

I got one last week and think it looks good, but then I've never had such a shiny coin before :lol: got it in the box as well so probably spent a bit much.

I've only got a couple of coins all from the royal mint and think they're nice, what's your opinions on other mints and the quality of them?

At first I thought it was shockingly bad.  However after getting one in my had it moved up to acceptable.  Lets face it its not a great design but it does stand out as something different I guess.  Im a britannia fan so Im more easily pleased than most. :)

I actually love this design. I am looking to make this my first proof coin purchase. I look at buying coins, like buying art. Because it is art. The incorporation of the British isles geography as a base for the body is quite interesting to me. Then running the flag in the background. The minimalist aspect of this coin can be appreciated too. Sometimes restraint by the engraver can be a good change of pace. As highly detailed the 2016 proof is, it just doesn't "speak to me" as much as this coin.
