It appears the Royal Mint had already struck 2023 silver Britannia’s prior to September…. https://www.royalmint.com/invest/bullion/bullion-coins/silver-coins/britannia-2023-1-oz-silver-bullion-coin/ I also hear that the Perth Mint will not be changing over to C111R anytime soon?

Am aware of a couple of forces, that have now changed their badges to C111R and a King’s crown. But as yet there has been no further, developments re medals, which I find strange. Surely plans must have been in place, for what was eventually to be an inevitable situation? Two months on, and no news. Not even with regards to miniature medals.

Thought this might be of interest. Over the last few days, I have contacted all the main stream, miniature medal suppliers. None of them were able to provide any release dates, for C111R miniature medals. I fully appreciate that this is an unprecedented situation. But I would have thought after near 2 months, there would have been some sort of announcement. Surely plans must have been in place for what can only be an inevitable situation….

Recently discovered that back in 2012, a new effigy was released on the Colonial LSGC, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonia ... vice_Medal “The medal is circular, silver and 36 mm (1.4 in) in diameter. The obverse depicts the effigy of the reigning sovereign surrounded by the royal titles. To date, there have been six types of obverse, the date in brackets showing the year the design was introduced” Would be interested to see one, in anyone is able to provide if photograph? -
