2017 brings many new designs and special features to well-loved products. Royal Mint Britannias in both Gold and Silver now have a modern ‘sunburst’ design to the reverse and the iconic Sovereign bears a celebratory privy mark to commemorate 200 years since it was first produced in 1817. The Chinese Year of The Rooster is also a popular theme for bullion this year with stunning designs from Perth Mint and Pamp Suisse.
