2019 Gold Beach Sovereign

[Coolsmp]

An interesting new coin, shape of Gold beach from the D-day landing

Not my cup of tea but still quite a thoughtful piece.

I misread the title as a bleach sovereign. A coin dedicated to the Royal mint taking people to the cleaners again.

I dislike the representation of Elizabeth almost as much as on the maple.  

Interesting but not to my taste

looking to buy my first gold piece soon hopefully. really like the saudi arabian guinea

[sovereignsteve]

what's with the rash of quarter "sovereigns" being issued lately?

Gives them a chance to make them look cheap compared to full sovs maybe while screwing you over with the price.

I wouldn't agree that a coin that looks as though someone has taken a bite out if it is a "thoughtful piece".

I can just imagine the comments from D day veterans.

"Looks bloody stupid"

"Is it made of chocolate?"

"I can't be doing with all these fancy gimmicks"

"Didn't make them like that in my day, they'd be laughed at if they did"

Yuck! 🤮

Just saw a television commercial on this from Hattons of London here in the US...was watching The History Channel. They were offering this for the low, low price of $247...oh, by the way, it is available for $147 on their website. Still wouldn’t pick this one up.

Isn't 2019 the 10th anniversary of the quarter sovereign? Maybe other mint's are jumping on cashing in on another anniversary.

Not too fond of this design. Something isn't right about the appearance of this coin. Looks like the inspiration was based on someone in the design room nibbling on a biscuit and got a eureka moment! *Facepalm*
