    I just got mine today, and actually was more impressed than I expected. Very beautiful in Silver, and the black box really presents well. I'm an American, and a few Sovereigns. I mostly do Silver, and some Gold, and I think that the Silver edition fits my style. It's not an investment, just a piece that I will enjoy. I don't care about the 50,000 run, I'm just glad to have one.

    I bought it today as well! It is a magnificent piece of history and to be honest, it surely looks more majestic than the gold one!! At least the proof edition… Now, whether they will release a bullion version in the future or not, I really don’t think so. That is why, hurry up…before it vanishes!

    Regarding 7:31, if you examine the Royal Mint's website for the 2025 Silver Sovereign, their depiction shows the Certificate of Authenticity as being held inside by the elastic strap under the lid of the black lacquer case. However, in reality the actual size of the Certificate of Authenticity is too large to fit inside the case. Therefore the Royal Mint needs to notified that their product depiction is a misrepresentation of the actual size of the Certificate of Authenticity.

    I think it's a beautiful coin. So much so, that I think I'm going to buy one. I think it's worth £80. I've spent more on coins less historic and beautiful.
    Thanks for the video Sy!

    I agree, its a lot to pay for 8g of silver, but definitely a piece of history as its the first silver Sovereign from the Royal Mint ❤‍🔥

  • @jadenephrite
    @jadenephrite Месяц назад +3

    Regarding 0:19, the Royal Mint 2025 pure silver sovereign coins with privy mark cost £125 each. Their limited edition presentation is 15,000 coins. The silver sovereign coins have the same diameter of 22.05 mm and the same weight of 7.98 grams as the 22 karat gold sovereign coin. However, the silver sovereign is 68.4% thicker, because its thickness is 2.56 mm compared to the 22 karat gold sovereign which has a thickness of 1.52 mm.

    Great Review, it was very thoughtful. I am an American, but I think it is a unique piece. Definitely overpriced, but it is for appreciating art and history. I ordered one for $115, including shipping. I have a few Sovereigns, I like the design of St George and the Dragon. Maybe not an investment, but hey, buy what you like, and there aren't any other options!

    @BradYaateeh. Месяц назад +3

    I am a USA collector of Sovereigns, love them. From an eye candy perspective, it is worth the money paid. Obviously, what you're getting in value it is not worth it. I have fallen to the side of wait 6 months and see what the pricing does. I believe your correct that it will be cheaper on the secondary market.

    I accidentally had a bit to much to drink and went crazy and got the Premium Silver Proof Coin. I know its a lot of money but will look nice on the shelf and is a reminder not to do drunk online coin shopping. Is a little annoying that the COA dont fit in the box. Still a nice video of whats to come.

    There is no denying that it’s a beautiful coin( if you’re a collector and want to pay 10 pound a gram for silver, then knock yourself out 👌), but the thing I’m not comfortable with is that they call it a Sovereign 😱😱. It’s a sovereign look alike, nothing more 😱.
    Thanks for sharing SY.

      @ Too late we were already invaded... Earth has already been hijacked.
      😉We need to be liberated from this slave prison planet and from our captors... Unfortunately most of the inhabitants of this planet is suffering from cognitive dissonance and Stockholm syndrome.
      The Moon is a Draco Reptilian Space Station...
      Ask yourself why is there 34 Dragon statues that surround the City of London. Why is there also an Obelisk in every city on the planet. It's the phallus of the Dragon, the actual word is derived from Basilisk. Which means King of the Serpents. In the Vatican they have St. Peters Basilica where there are three Dragon statues and Obelisks.
      Why did every ancient culture in antiquity worship the dragon?
      The pharaohs of Egypt were the refugees of Atlantis!
      ALIEN ARCHONS HAVE BEEN RULING THE SURFACE OF PLANET SINCE BEFORE THE "BUY BULL" The IllumiNazis are but a predecessor of an older and even more cruel order. They've been running this planet since the dawn of time...Dragons aren't some mythological being...The Draco Reptilians came from the Alpha Draconis star system out of the Draco Constellation... They were know as the Atlanteans, Satan, Baphomet, Archons, Draconian's, in the bible they were known as the Seraphim, the Burning Ones/Serpents also the Nephilim or Elohim, the fallen angels, those who were casted out from the heavens. Both words are plural and feminine, meaning there were many gods and were androgynous. The Sumerians knew them as the Anunnaki... Anakim in Hebrew means giant...Because they are very tall 7ft-15ft and have shapeshifting abilities. In the Indian culture they were known as the Naga. Dracula in Latin means Dragon, The Order of the Dracul is the order of the Dragon able to shift physically into other creatures a bat wolf a bear a human or into the aether via the quantum field.
      Earth is a farm we are all cattle and humanity lives in a contrived reality!
      Freemasons are the minions of the Draco Reptilian Empire!

      @ The Mayans called them Quetzalcoatl, and Kukulcan the Feathered Serpent Kings and the Incans called him Viracocha they incorporated their images of dragons in their pyramids on opposite ends of the world. There are dragon statues all over the world, throughout the ages, in every ancient culture! The coat of arms for the city of London is two Dragons holding a red shield, which in German is Rothschild. There are 33 Dragon statues in the City of London to quell consciousness. The slaying of a Dragon by St. George. Twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac are all real, including the dragon ! The Muslims knew them as Dajjal or Djinn or Genies... After your three wishes your soul is theirs to keep. They were also known to the Buddhist monks as the Brotherhood of Two dragons. The Red Dragons in the east and the Yellow in the west. Same goes for the native American Indians all the Aboriginals knew them as the Brotherhood of the Snake. The Egyptian knew them as Horus, Anubis and Amen Ra...That's why every religion says amen after every prayer cause they are paying homage to Satan Baphomet/ Draco Reptoids! Santa Claus is actually Satan's Claws both wearing red, both come from the fire, both have minions working feverishly. All religions and holidays are based on satanic doctrines and pagan dogmas. And if you don't believe me than you're being quite draconian about it.
      Basilisk in Latin means King of the Serpents, as in St Peters Basilica where there lies two Dragon Statues in the Vatican as well as Obelisks, the phallus of the Dragon that is why there is at least few obelisks in every city on the planet the Freemasons put them there throughout history in order to control consciousness...The Chinese, Japanese, India, Indonesians, Mayans, Aztecs, Incas all worship the Dragon in antiquity... There are Gargoyles adorn every church and cathedral.... The Egregores the Watchers... The biggest trick the D-Evil can play is making humanity believe that he does not exist :/

It's a Christmas present for him to have a prompt in years to come to remember those memories and his innocence. £80 for that is an absolute bargain

    I would probably contact the Royal Mint about the COA - this is a really irritating oversight and takes all the joy out of having it all as a nice little package. Nothing worse than getting the coin out in 2034, when Charles shuffles off his mortal coil, only to realise with real irritation the COA is not there. Very strange that when you view the Royal Mint website this card is slotted into the lid - with the bespoke elasticated COA holding band. It would at least be interesting to know if it was intentional, an oversight, or if they are completely unaware of the issue. I would guess there has been extremely high demand and the proper boxes have run out, or there was some sort of mix up between the printers and marketing. I would say that even if you call then 3 times over the next 3 months, you may get 3 different answers, so it is not guaranteed you will get a properly researched answer, but some excuse someone made up on the spot.

    @aucourant9998 Месяц назад +1

    This is the worst value coin the Royal Mint has ever produced. It's a psychological con as people equate the small size with the gold coin. And it's not a Sovereign, a Sovereign is the gold coin. This is a small silver coin in an expense box calling itself a sovereign.

    • @SyTheSoundman
      @SyTheSoundman  Месяц назад

      It's only a con if people don't have a choice. I hear you though, you're not one for change and that's all good. You're not alone in thinking a Sovereign should be gold only!
