Just had a closer inspection of mine and the Queens side appears to have a yellowish tone. Didn't notice it at first and it doesn't clean off either.

Also my Perth Mint kangaroo 1oz silver bars appear to have the same that I bought a while back. Need to catch it in a certain light to see it. At least they're not proofs 

They have a nice idea to appeal to stackers and numismatists both. I hope they do Lunar III series this way. If they can improve the finish.

Trip out to local coin shop proved fruitful today.  I had asked him to put by a 2005 Sovereign for me, but spied these delightful little coins... The Sovereign remains 'put by' until pay day next week. oh, and another of those pesky little 1/2 Dollars turned up on the doormat, I keep telling my wife I don't know where on earth they come from.  Thanks to @Roy for some sound pointers and @Numistacker for the informative videos of these little coins.

 

That makes 5 little Brits on the week and it's only Thursday...

Thanks for feedback, I have some on the way. Interesting about the 2017 kangaroo bar. I was wondering if the quality / finish was the same?

The matt finish is the same on the front of the bar. They both have an appearance of being handled but in certain light it looks like a yellow tone. 

Both bars are identical in size and I need to source the correct size capsules for them as the spare ones I bought for 1oz JM bars are a bit too big.

Think they're both 3mm thick and yes have also heard special caps. Goldsilverbe selling them for 96p or 96 cents

Try photo without black background can't see the edge properly has a fair few marks on it but I'm not sure about prices for that coin

Some 50% silver half crowns and my free 1/2 oz courtesy of @BackyardBullion and the European Mint (lovely coin, and impeccably packed as always):

Also, is it just me, or have they somehow given the Queen gills to match the shark?

Understandable, the obverse field is a wee bit rough.
