I like the britty (brit titty)

Yeah. Close to 500 dollars no?

I love the Britannia Series of coins - they're all so alluring

450 no worries!!! [ ] <-----insert sarcasm smile here

Hopefully you are joking. This is insane price. :/ For that price you can easily get some other coins which would be probably worth more (Tiffany art, etc.).

But I guess if you really like the coin then is worth the price.

Britannia's left tit is hanging out like in one of those celebrity "oops" photos.

Same design as the 1 oz Proof version. I looked high and dry before going to the UK recently for the 2013 proof, couldn't find one.

And now I know why...not even released yet. I like the symbolism of the design but I'm not convinced the design is very good. Too simplistic. And the exposed breast is nothing different from a painting out of the classics but this one...just looks a little crass.

Now the same image of Britannia as on the statue in front of Buckingham Palace: That would be a great coin.

Pricing on these is absolutely appalling and the mint is not letting its dealer network get their hands on any. How they can charge over 90 (circa $150) for a 1oz proof is beyond me. The 5oz at 450 is simply beyond belief when it contains 75 worth of silver. It's a beautiful coin but the greed of the Royal Mint is leaving a bad taste everywhere. The BU is banging on $90!!!!
