    The horse looks gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that (in my best Seinfeld impersonation). :D

    Just had follow up information. There are also to be 30,000 1oz gold and 300,000 1oz silver bullion coins. Looks like a new bullion range to supplement the now boringly constant Britannia. That's pretty good news, irrespective of whether you like the design or not.

    Think the royal mint just killed their own britannia series.

    And now this?

    wow.. that sucks the big camel toe, I bet its massively overpriced even before they slap the VAT on it.. what a bunch of bull-paki!

    They make it way to easy to NOT buy it and NOT be interested in the slightest. I wish the PM could make there bullion lunar slightly uglier and slightly more expensive so I don't get at all tempted.. PM -- take a chip off the royal mints old block - more ugly and more expensive, but keep the same "crap where you eat" customer loyalty campaign - that's gold!

    wow.. you guys really dislike these coins eh? I didn't think it looks that bad with a pretty good mintage. You folks should see the RCM mintage number and price.

    It's not a great design, but it's not awful either, imo.

    At least it's tight mintages and a limited range. There aren't dozens of variations and sizes like some places we could mention. I'd be amazed if this didn't sell out quickly. First ever lunar in a series of twelve has collectable written all over it.

    I agree with that. I ordered three with the three 20 for 20 to save on shipping fee. The mintage and that it being the first of the series got my attention. I don't think the design is that bad. I am use to collecting from RCM so the price is not bad compare to RCM stuffs for 1 oz.
