Britannia Proof coins 2015 should be issued in July!

A decent coin but I still think it will be difficult for the RM to match the 2014 5 oz silver proof Britannia in terms of aesthetic appeal to most Britannia collectors...

Agree. Last year's design was a surprising standout. This year's design is more conservative although still very nice.
 
Ordered one each for silver proof 1oz and 5oz, not because I like them but as a continuation for my proof Brit collection...
 
I think the design is beautiful. The 5 oz silver coin should look very nice. Regrettably, the mint did not hear calls for a 1oz gold proof coin as a stand alone.

Checking how fast the 5oz is selling, there were 547 available a few minutes ago.

Not selling very fast this year. Still 510 of the 5oz:

^ I think it's still too early to tell if this will sell well. I have no intention of buying one but that doesn't mean it's not worth collecting.

This year's proof Brit is just a disappointment... No high relief, no fantastic design. I doubt it will sell out, probably it will end up like the 2013 5oz... It was on sale for like close to 10 months.

I like it, just not enough to pay 395 for it. Last year's design was well worth the price (and maybe the AUD was higher back then).
 
I think the design will be better in the real thing. I remember when the piedfort coin was released, I thought it was just ordinary. Once I received it, it was beautiful. I ended up buying a few more. Now they are all sold out.

If you get one of the 2015 5 oz Brits post pics and video if you can. The design is just nothing special in my view. Besides, immediately what stuck out as a flaw in the design is the under-proportioned size of the trident head...seems way too small.....it's closer to an eating fork than a battle trident. :)

I went back and looked and you are right. Its more of a crab spear than an heroic trident.
