Received back from grading as a teaser from @Numistacker (and I think the going rate maxes out SD insurance)

Yes, and joins my little collection of all time favourite designs:

(all PF70UC, even the 2001/2003 iterations)

 

but nothing tops the 5oz High Relief for the “reverse”

All this 'admiring' of Britannia reminds me of Wayne's World:

Garth: Did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

Wayne: No.

[cracks up laughing] 

Wayne: No.

Garth: Neither did I. I was just asking.

A nice 1947 Cinco Pesos arrived today.

I'm curious... what do you think of the 2019 design? It seems to be quite popular, and I also like it a lot. None of the other very recent Britannia proofs have convinced me so far, but the 2019 stands out. Time will tell in later years if it will become one of the iconic designs, or just a forgotten one. I think the addition of the lion in the design is a plus.

Well I wouldn't get off of her until the neighbours complained about smell, she is gorgeous, probably one of the best looking of all the Britannia women.

@Xander Is the Piedfort sovereign worth more with their spelling mistake?

The nice thing about the Britannia series is that there are designs to suit many different tastes. In terms of plasticity of the allegory I favour the 2014 and 1987 original design. In regards to modern reductive depiction the 2001 and 2003 stand out to me and @gazer. I think there is little not to be liked and even the greatest hater of the 2017 design @RegalStacker has come to terms with her.

Yes I can agree on that. I'm specifically interested in hearing what people's opinions are of the 2019 design.

@CoinStruck   Yes but the coin changes at the moment it’s the Sherlock 50p
