There are so many £5 coins released of planned for release in 2020 (at least 15)! Expect a new one about every 2-3 weeks, at this rate. The King George III coin appeared in the 2020 year sets. There has also been a Year of the Rat coin, another two in the Queens Beasts series (the Mortimer White Lion and the White Horse of Hanover), a ‘Music Legends’ coin for the band Queen (more from that series are also expected including Elton John), a James Bond themed coin (there will be a total of 3 of those), a Wordsworth coin, a Yeoman Warder’s mace, Three Lions, a Crowned Penny and Thomas Miagh graffiti coin.
They will appear here as and when I have received them to do the pictures. Apologies for not being the quickest, but I also insist on doing pictures myself, rather than just pinching them from elsewhere on the internet.
