    It is a RAM coin. The more I look at it the more I like. The horizontal view looks fantastic! :)

    Just wondering, with that shape, wouldn't the queen's head get rubbed against the capsule? @_@

    It'd be cool in a 250, 500gram or kilo size. Would make a nice little coin bowl

    Sure look nice but $110 a pop? Unlikely to have any upside potential given it seems it has an unlimited mintage also.

    10,000 Mintage according to RAM, thanks "picturefun" for putting some pics on which i neglected to do[my apologies]. I got one myself as i thought it was pretty unique so hence the original post to get some feedback and it appears most people seem to agree :):) Thanks for your comments!

    First coin I actually like from the RAM since the start of the Kangaroo at Sunset program. Been a long time since i bought a coin just because I like it. Didn't care about the high mintage or price for a change. Would have loved to see a 10oz size.

    Mine arrived today. It's a good looking coin. It got a lot of positive comments around the office.
