will see the release of two new coins in the 25 Years of Magic collection with spellbinding designs based on Jim Kay's Harry Potter illustrations. The Royal Mint are conjuring up 50ps and ounce coins featuring Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the coming months.
We've seen a few 2023 coins already but there's more to come since The Royal Mint spreads their releases through the year. Some are part of ongoing series and others we know about through proclamations published in The Gazette. These formal announcements signpost upcoming Royal Mint releases and we can already tell there's some great stuff in the pipeline. Will we see another Wyon design in 2023? Or will the Great Engravers look to another British engraver for the next issue? More details as soon as we have them. New British Monarchs Coins We started shooting in November. We're halfway. We will finish shooting in August, a year on post, and we'll come out in the following August," Gilroy told the crowd, according to Deadline.
New Bimetallic One Pound
The same Proclamation indicates that these will be accompanied by new Royal Arms bullion coins as well as new additions to the Gold Standard range in 1/10oz, 1/4oz, 1/2oz and 1oz sizes. Share Your Thoughts
J R R Tolkien - author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings - passed away in 1973. Fifty years on, the father of modern fantasy literature joins a very small group of British authors to be celebrated on coinage with a Two Pound decorated with his distinctive monogram, designed by David Lawrence. The edge reads 'NOT ALL THOSE WHO WANDER ARE LOST' on most editions: a line from The Riddle of Strider from The Fellowship of the Ring. Again, these Tolkien 2 Pounds will be available soon in BU, silver proof, piedfort silver proof and gold proof finishes but you can see them now in annual sets. Dark Horse Direct is proud to offer Star Wars: Hyperspace Stories Annual–Jaxxon with a brand new convention exclusive variant cover by the great Sergio Aragonés! Originally a Rose City Comic Con exclusive, 500 copies are now available through Dark Horse Direct for those who could not make the event in person this year. The King turns 75 on 14 November 2023 and it looks like The Royal Mint are giving him a present in the form of a Five Pound coin with floral details, created by Dan Thorne. The design is a nod to Charles III's dedication to the environment and includes an edge inscription that reads 'RESTORING HARMONY WITH NATURE'. In addition to the annual set editions, we will soon be able to enjoy this Five Pound birthday coin in an individual presentation, likely in BU, silver proof, piedfort silver proof and gold proof. The first releases in the 25 Years of Magic collection featured Harry Potter and the Hogwarts Express, shown here in colour-printed silver proof. New Great Engravers Design Taking a break from his stellar career as a New Republic fighter ace, the galaxy’s greatest green rabbit is sent on a top-secret diplomatic mission to Endor, only to end up in the middle of a full-blown Ewok Civil War! Things get dicey, and our long-eared Lepi might have to choose between saving the day, and saving his own skin.Five years between games is a long time, lore-wise, and to fill in the blanks, there’s also a prequel novel set during that gap. In Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars, Cal forms a bond with the crew of the Stinger Mantis, but he’ll come to face the likes of the Fifth Brother, introduced in Disney+’s Obi-Wan Kenobi series. You can catch this novel a week before Jedi Survivor launches on March 7, 2023. Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures The 2023 National Health Service Fifty Pence uses words associated with the NHS for a modern, graphic design. Edward Jenner Two Pound The Great Engravers is a premium coin collection from The Royal Mint celebrating the numismatic art of the past through reissues of some of the most beautiful designs ever to grace UK coinage. So far the Great Engravers series has focused on designs by 19th-century Royal Mint engraver William Wyon, including his Una and the Lion, Three Graces and Gothic Crown. The Gothic Crown was split into two designs - the Quartered Arms and the Victoria Portrait - both released with a 2021 date. Sometime soon we'll also see a 2023-dated Sovereign range. Sovereigns have a close connection to the monarchy (it's in the name!) and previous issues have featured special designs to mark special royal occasions like jubilees. As 2023 is King Charles' coronation year, can we assume that these forthcoming Sovereigns will also feature a special design? If not, we’re always glad to see Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the dragon motif, a mainstay on these 22-carat coins for the last two centuries.
As for that Kill Bill comparison, Headland added: "I think it's a really good reference for the modern day martial arts film. Obviously, Tarantino took inspiration from a lot of the movies that our action team and a lot of our design team pulled from - which is stuff from the Shaw brothers to Akira Kurosawa in his samurai films, but also films like Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

The Royal Mint's definitely looking to the past for inspiration at the moment and the British Monarchs collection, launched in 2022, is a testament to this. The coins in this range celebrate some of the remarkable Kings and Queens that have graced British money down the centuries. 21 coins are planned but we can expect four to be released in 2023:
