Wow these actually look pretty cool - and the background helps. 😃

I suppose these will have the KC III obverse since they are 2023 coins?

By the way I can no longer edit my initial post, so there’s no way to update the schedule anymore.

No, Elizabeth.

Not sure if it's today, can't see anything on the RM website.

 

Edit. Looking back in this thread, looks like it is this morning

Ah thanks. I also see it’s a 2022 coin, so imo it’s quite normal to have QE II’s effigy on the obverse despite her  having passed away.

Comments are that the queen was already on the coin and they didn’t want to bin stuff and start again with the king on them

That makes sense. I suppose any 2022 coins that bear QE II’s effigy won’t be much of a problem in the grand scheme of things.

I suspect now (as others have previously suggested) that the 2023 Britannias too just released were already struck with QE II’s effigy. Which is why starting from 2023 the RM will strike new ones with KC III’s effigy.

It’ll be interesting to see if there are any other 2023 coins with QE II’s effigy.

Could this be the last 50p with QE II?

There was supposed to be a Snowman and Snowdog 50p with QE II’s effigy (probably around Christmas?)

Mate everything is going to be the last or the first, I'm amazed they don't double dip until the end of the year.

I'll only buy it if it says "We tricked you'' on the edge.

Make a great gift for friends then.

I like the BBC coin design, apart from the phrase "100 years of our BBC".  That just annoys me, in the same way as when the NHS is described as "our NHS".

It's trying to attribute endowment or ownership of these bodies to private individuals in an attempt to make those individuals value these institutions more (and therefore soften them up for tax or fee increases).  I am wise to that tactic, which is why I dislike the phrases.

I'm interested to see what happens with the first Harry Potter 50p, which should also be released soon. Will they also release it with the QEII obverse because they'd already made them, or will they actually remint that one so that it has the same obverse as the other 3 in the series.

Interesting. I wonder if they’ll care that much about consistency as there are other series which will have different obverses too - namely, the Tudor Beasts and British Monarchs.

The media seemed to be teasing this may be the last. Likely just PR though

ive never turned live mainstream TV on in over 4 years now - Netflix, YouTube and a read of the comments on Daily Mail app does me

No news, no soaps, no question time, no pushing green/climate agenda, no wokeism, no adverts, no biased Britain hating news
