I know this isn't US, but I found this design to be gorgeous. I'm sure many of you can appreciate it as well.

It is less if you buy it from the Royal Mint and have it shipped to the US. The prices on their site include VAT.

I see it listed at £77.08 for the 1 oz Silver Proof
Well, just Love coins, period.
<< <i>I believe the mintage is in the 600 range. Can you imagine an ATB with mintage of 600 and what the price would be?!? >>
I think the mintage is more in line with 2500. Regardless, I ordered a handful.
AJ, Thanks for the heads up

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Poor mans substitute!
No comparison to a classic United States coin with about 2 oz. of gold.

Pan-Pan $50 gold pieces contain almost two and a half ounces of gold.

I am sure glad I bought the 6 coin set a couple years ago. I just checked ebay prices! I REALLY wish I would have picked up a few of the "overpriced" 5 ouncers, as those are outrageous now!
I have seen the 5 ounce Britannias on EBay with high asking prices, but I have yet to see auction records reflecting what these are selling for. Maybe there just have not been many recorded transactions...
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Still a beautiful coin.... forgot about these...may have to look for one..just as a nice coin to have. Cheers, RickO
Looks like they have sold from about $1,000 to $3,000

I'd like to see those on our circulating coins.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Thanks Jwitten

Never understood the female warrior helmet thing. Strength via women wearing a symbolic helmet. Kinda weird, mho.
The concept of the female warrior with helmet goes back thousands of years. They are all based on the mythological goddess of Athena (AKA Minerva), who was know as the goddess of War and Wisdom.
Here is my favorite depiction of Athena/Minerva -- as seen on Benjamin Franklin's Libertas Americana medal
Yep. Babes. Spears. Lions defended by shields. Women with armored headdress. It seems weird to me to have this evolve as a national symbol.
In America, Liberty was a hairblown, headressless, mess.
But, in 1770, you got this -
Weird.
If anyone has a one ounce coin for sale let me know, beautiful design
I love Britannia!

I had a couple of sets of gold Britannia's.....they are beautiful... sold them on the BST....Cheers, RickO
I really like the majority of the Britannia designs.
BST transactions: dbldie55, jayPem, 78saen, UltraHighRelief, nibanny, liefgold, FallGuy, lkeigwin, mbogoman, Sandman70gt, keets, joeykoins, ianrussell (@GC), EagleEye, ThePennyLady, GRANDAM, Ilikecolor, Gluggo, okiedude, Voyageur, LJenkins11, fastfreddie, ms70, pursuitofliberty, ZoidMeister,Coin Finder, GotTheBug, edwardjulio, Coinnmore...
If interested in the design,you can order a 2015 "50 pound" directly from the Royal Mint or their site on ebay. Mint site says 75% sold out and 5 order limit. I got a few...
Wonder what happens if the coin gets wet.
Or you can join the bidding at Stack's on the gold 2014 5 Oz which is now at 13k USD and climbing! Ouch! Wish I'd gotten that bit when it came out.
Well, just Love coins, period.
I am surprised with the level of interest... Here.
