Red Dragon of Wales - Gold & Silver Proofs Imminent

[westminstrel]

Based on information in the Gazette, it looks like the Royal Mint will soon be releasing the proof versions of the Red Dragon of Wales.

If I were collecting these I'd be hyped, but seeing as I can't afford this series - the 1/4 oz gold is what I'd have liked to collect - I'm just being the bearer of good news to those who are

Well based on this link, MCM has seen it coming a month ago probably RM informed them on mint's release schedule

Can’t remember if this was her of fb but could be March 2018

That release schedule seems incorrect for least two reasons:

1. The Proof Unicorn was not released on September 25 but in early June (and it was the 2017 Unicorn, not 2018).

2. The Proof Griffin hasn't been released yet.

Edit: Unless this is referring to the bullion versions? I don't recall that scehdule.

@westminstrel on sept 25 it was gold and silver 2 oz bu and in oct its silver 10oz and 1oz plat its a bit confusing don't know why they don't release them all on the same day

It's going to be 475 this time instead of 455

Ah thanks. I thought the sheet was talking about the proofs

I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true.

Why can't they make it simple and launch the same beast all in 1 go every 3/4 months!!!

It is odd isn't it.  It just seems random, do they gain anything from this?

I can't see how they are, to be honest - just very shoddy planning.
