Do they deliberately write those things so no one can actually understand them?!

[KDave]

I laughed at the proclamation format, the ending just cracked me up for some reason.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN 

I couldn't help but think - the coins are not even out yet at least give them a chance!

Of course, they wouldn't get away with their fraud otherwise.

i wonder how many will buy this , five pound coin normally very low mintage 

[xthomasx]

Thank God none of these coin formats has a place in my collection. I was a bit afraid they would make one more SotD Sovereign... 

[KDave]

Don't worry about the mintage, if these do well expect a first strike double piedford plain edge proof-but-not-proof version to be released.

I was afraid they’d do it for the new Prince/Princess. Thank goodness they bypassed that one. Last year year got ridiculous by the time the Platinum Anniversary SotD came around.

You can guarantee one thing for absolute certainty, they will be vastly overpriced their precious metal content

It’s (archaic) formality, I think. It’s not meant to be understood by the general public. For that we have the Marketing department ?

[westminstrel]

And here are the coins themselves.

Ye gads....a jacket and tie with a waist up shot of the pair of them.....good grief, no.

Just a money making scheme. One big rip off

Whether folk buy them or not it cements the idea of the inevitability of the 'royal' family and the legitimacy of Charles' line.

The headline change to the royal succession law gender was taken out of the equation but the most significant change was that only Charles and his own heirs can ascend the throne. Very useful when a number of folk with a greater claim than the 'Windsors' are knocking about, and no other reason to include it.
