Title: UK 2017 Silver Bullion Britannia
Post by: Kena on November 13, 2016, 12:08:52 AM

Saw this on the Royal Mint site today. 

"In 2017, The Royal Mint commemorates the 30th year since the Britannia bullion design was first released. Sculptor Philip Nathan, the designer of the first Britannia bullion in 1987, envisaged her as a classic and evolving icon. In this classic design she stands firm against a powerful gale which whips around her shield, Corinthian helmet and olive branch. The 2017 design also features a speckled radial sunburst at her back."

The 2017 design looks great.  The Britannia bullion are a very cool series.  I wish the US mint would change up our American Eagle design a little bit every year like the Britannia.

A pair of the coins arrived.  One of them will be moving to the USA.

One of these days, I need to clean the glass of the second scanner that I acquired.

Great looking coin.

Why are the Germans not able to produce nice looking NCLT (we don't do Bullion).

Very nice design.  2001 Britannia design still my favorite.
