    I was talked out of buying the gold Una and the Lion by someone with  comments like this ⬆️.   Now I trust my gut and vote with my cash......Thank god I started listening to myself   I'm far richer now.  
    The market is big enough for people to buy what they want.

    SilverMike reacted to westminstrel in NEW St. George and the Dragon coin with Garter inscription   
    Sexy new coin but not sure what it really is.

    PROCLAMATION:
    For the obverse impression Our effigy with the inscription “· CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 10 POUNDS ·” and the date of the year,
    and for the reverse a depiction of St George, armed, sitting on horseback, attacking a dragon with a sword, and a broken spear upon the ground with the inscription “HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE”. The coin shall have a plain edge and in excuse letters the inscription “DECUS ET TUTAMEN · ANNO REGNI II ·”.’
    https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/4503115

    DENOMINATIONS:
    - Gold 5kg, 2kg, 1kg, 5oz, 2oz
    - Silver 1kg, 5oz, 2oz and 10oz piedfort
     
    MY COMMENTS:
    Can’t be a Sovereign because of the specification of the denomination in the coins, their weights, and the variations in metal.
    Also not sure if it is part of the Great Engravers series, because William Wyon’s St. George and the Dragon does not have the garter inscription (the circumscription is TREU UND FEST), nor does it have the edge inscription, as far as I know. The Garter design is by Benedetto Pistrucci (more below).
    Finally, ANNO REGNI II means the Second Year of the Monarch’s Reign, meaning (to be very literal) September 2023 to August 2024 of King Charles’ reign.
    Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1820 £2 pattern Sovereign does have an edge inscription of DECUS ET TUTAMEN • ANNO REGNI LX which was the 60th year of the Reign of King George III in 1820; however to complicate matters, this pattern coin does NOT have the Garter inscription. The 1819/19 Crown by Benedetto Pistrucci does have both the Garter and edge inscriptions.
    So, my deduction is perhaps that this coin does after all continue the Great Engravers series (or maybe the Royal Mint finally caught on to my idea and is doing a series of St. George and the Dragon designs!), and they’ve combined the £1 Sovereign’s Garter design with the edge inscription from the £2 Sovereign to come up with a representative sample of Benedetto Pistrucci’s work.

    SilverMike got a reaction from Muncle in Sovereigns - Am i just the only one who doesn't get excited by them ? Despite all history etc   
    Im a sovereign and half sovereign man, mainly proof but I do have some rare and collectable circulation (along with some modern, 3G, una, QB, etc). But regarding sovereigns, its the history and the story that they are steeped in that interests me and that a coin like the one attached to this post has survived 470years, and the knowledge that im going to be part of the story of a specific coin as most of my sovereigns / half sovereigns will be eternally collectable long after I am pushing up daisies (im not sure many of the modern coins will be, who knows). Later milled also the same, coins that are hundreds of years old and are almost as perfect as the day they were struck, how is that even possible... amazing when you overlay that with the storyline of british history. Collecting modern sovereigns is just an extension and continuation of british history and development encased in a small piece of gold for your personal and private consideration when you want to.
    I’m very much a collector, but bullion sovereigns also present an opportunity for those who are halfway between stacker and collector which you don't get with anything else as diverse really, i don’t do date runs or varieties, but I completely understand why people do, they are able to add weight and watch the progression of this historic coin and british history over hundreds of years.
    I’m fairly sure ive seen you enthusiastic and excited about early milled proof half and full sovereigns on here before @Paul 😉
    what does excite you out of interest Paul if not sovereigns? Diversity is what makes our community interesting. I love looking at the coins other are collecting, perhaps not something  I would buy but I can normally appreciate the beauty and or rarity of them. Sovereigns can obviously also be used for hardcore stacking which is different and all about accumulating a stock, I don't think many are really like that on here though, you likely wouldn’t bother with a forum like this if you were I guess.
    Well probably best not to collect sovereigns then 😄 ... come on Paul, what do you collect?
