Me too....I so nearly started to collect these Vrenelis a year or so ago. I decided to collect the French Fr.20 Francs Genies (angels) instead. But...I can’t remember why. I’m not sure one or two of the Swiss Vrenelis are really really rare, and would’ve been expensive to obtain..that would have put me off as when I go for a date run...I have to complete it! OCD I know☹️!

What a lovely example of the Swiss 20 Franc coin!
There's something about this particular coin that I just absolutely love

So, due to this thread I decided to buy an LMU coin instead of a full sovereign as my next coin.
 
My first 20 franc came in yesterday (well the day before but it was given to a neighbour?!) - I know it's the least rare and a re-strike and i'm ok with that as my first   She still has some shine to her and there's good depth on the lettering still.

Why does the coin above remind me of Geoff Lynne? Probably alcohol!

I got the Liberty 2019 and by the way also the 10 oz Kookaburra 2019 and the 10 oz Lunar II pig in coloured Version. It was the last coin for collectors to complete a collection of Lunar II 1/2, 1, 2, 5, 10 oz and 1 kg Silver in the coloured Versions.

If truth be told, I didn't receive these today - I picked up three of them at the Coin Fare in London on Saturday, and the other arrived in the post whilst I was up in The Big Smoke:
Many thanks to @5huggy for the Geiger 1oz bar - I've had one of these on my "must get list" for a few months now
Chards were selling the 2020 Kangeroos off for £20 at the show, and with no P&P to pay I wasn't going home without one
The 1970 is only Nickel-Brass - but I have always loved the design, and to see such a nice example was just too tempting
The 2002 Shieldback Half Sovereign is again one of those coins that has been on my radar for a little while; it's still in a sealed plastic packaging, the price was VERY good, and so it didn't take much to persuade me to press the button
