My instant reaction is mixed

First reaction was I like it but then looking at the details closer hmm I'm not sure

I will say the angle is something different and I appreciate that

There's a reverse proof mintage only 700.. I think I will get that

[Kman]

The Maximum Mintage of the platinum 1/4 is 160, that's very low

[Bullionaire]

I quite like it too. 

 

Have they done the BU silver version before. I don't remember seeing It? Mintage isn't bad at 3000 either

Yes, 2015-2018 it was the ‘plain fields’ Britannia. Basically the bullion design on a plain field.

2013 and 2014 I think there was an uncirculated version of the annual design and it reverted back to this in 2019.

[Oldun]

Really digging the flag background and positioning of the 2020. The rest of the design is a bit meh.

I notice the 2oz Gold version is the same approx price as the Una and the Lion. I don't think the flipping sales will com close to the Una.

[Kman]

The art pieces are interesting, would you guys have preferred this design?

 

[Oldun]

Oh god no...not the Lion King ! Giving animals human emotions...yuuuuuukkkkkk. 

[Roy]

Reminds me of Aslan 🙄

[Xander]

Are you looking at me?

Yes, the 2019 plain fields mintage was 10,000...and it sold out completely. So this looks attractive.

I liked the 2019 design better. But this is not bad. I think what is of interest here is the 700 mintage reverse proof set (so it means there are 1,400 RP coins?). Costing £170, you can bet your bottom dollar they will fetch £300 and more on eBay soon.blockquote widget

Maybe get the 5oz Proof?
250 mintage 

[AndrewSL76]

They have again issued the daft sketches of the Britannia design with reference to 'fine gold'. Why would anyone buy a framed sketch of a fine gold coin with an actual silver coin in the frame?

I am not liking the design at all. I can see money to be made in the 700 mintage version, but otherwise....meh, indeed.

There will be 350 reverse proof coins, the other one is the normal proof

Ah, that makes more sense

I decided just on THE BRITANNIA 2020 1oz SILVER PROOF TWO POUND £2 COIN BOX + COA at £80 from the CC it was easier to stomach, not a big fan of the britannia designs apart from the 2014 proof that i still want

Playing on the union flag for Brexit year.

the 2011 didn't work and didn't do well

[AppleZippoandMetronome]

Shame the CoinConnection doesn't seem to be stocking the reverse proof. Agree with other comments that it seems a good one to go for. After my Una experience though I think I'm done trying to get coins direct from the RM.

[Bullionaire]

Shocking that the RM have removed the free shipping option. Even if you're spending hundreds with them!

I looked for that on on the CC too ☹️

Nope. Not for me. Lions are NOT hippies 😵

[sovereignsteve]

I don't know what people see in the reverse proof concept, they just look like Perth mints standard bullion coins to me
