Haha I just saw this on YouTube. It's a down right terrible design! What were they thinking? Also Regal u should check out my last post..I'm trying to get u more followers because you sure as hell deserve it! Thanks for promoting the community here with your YouTube channel. I've been trying to do the same. It's great to be on the ground floor and see how awesome we can get here on Steemit. Cheers

I will talk to the mint, was going to anyway to tell them to get there designer some class a drugs and make him OD

hahaaa damn right :)

Woop!
Oh dear, that is a dreadful design. They should have given her a United Kingdom platemail dress WITH the map carved into it.. not this bizarre Godzilla Britannia getting up and walking off the sea.

I will be honest though.. I'm probably going to buy 1 or 2 of the silver ones, eventually. Just for the stack to have one a year, and the chance to flip the other one if it does go viral for some insane reason (such as it being withdrawn and therefore rare!)

its blackmail though dam the Mint

And First :P

Ahh man, that blows!

its therefor right

great vid! second

well done

Great video saying it how it is. The design is hideous its ugly as fuck it looks like she's taking a crap on wales.

As a resident of Northern Ireland.. I am appalled that she looks like she took an oceanic dump and that dump is in the shape of N.I.

Not right Eh she crapping on your country bad way to treat you

Oh this is the limit...!! They have no dignity.

making money like that they have no shame LOL

I bought it, dont judge me i was so excited at the 20th anniversary Britannia being released i bought it faster than my eyes could see.

Im going to get very drunk for when it arrives so i can truly appreciate its beauty, im also sad as ive been collecting the 40th oz gold, again dont judge me, but that collection has now come to an end with this coin and the price rise to £70!! Anyway its just 1 ounce and in hand it might, no listen right it might look far far far better, well ok then im holding out for the coin becoming so bad that its good, get the flouride and aspartame and monsanto goodness down and give it another look

You know we will all talk about you and say have you seen the bird that russellbury seen with but we will still be your friend and have a pint and joke about it, they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder LOL

Yea well i was planning my first steemit vid, me and Britannia skipping through a field of buttercups singing I'm into something good - "woke up this morning feeling fine, ive got something special on my mind...." not now, oh no, no, no... not now she turned up at the party dressed as the british isles, she thought it was fancy dress, how embarrasing but its her 20th birthday and she can wear what she wants, oh eck im defending her lol.

It must have been love, but your dressed as an island,
It must have been good but Royal mint lost it somehow
It must have been love, but your pooping out ireland
From the moment we touched till the time this shite sold out

Leave a snigger on my steemit,
Leave the weathermap on the ground
I think its lovely, theres an air of silence
Royal Mint took my eighty five pound

Added it to my stack, i close my eyes and dream away
It must have been Britannia but shes gone all strange
Like a teardrop Royal Mints gone insane
And its a hard silvers day

It must have been love, but you dressed up as Britain
It was supposed to be good but you a bit of a dud
We wanted so much but dissapointed your fans
Its all that i wanted and its on its way now....

LOL, maybe with beer goggles the ole gal will look half decent.
I don't think any amount of chemical sweetener will help.

mmmm chemical sweeteners, my favorite ones give me an urge to shout at the moon, why are you there? what are you? why wont you rotate? Dont like the ones that convince you the earth is flat tho lol

Agreed. Bad design choice for an anniversary year.

Think they are all on smack or something how did that slip through the net

@westminstrel That's weird, a notification told me this was a new comment, but Steem tells me it's 4 days old.
I will figure this thing out eventually.

No worries. I'm still figuring my way around too :)

What a complete and utter mess of a coin!!
This looks like something that a six year old designed in a old paint package for a school project. So disappointed in this one!! Britannia is such a classic design why destroy it like this!? They should have kept the classic figure and messed around with the background.

I like how you much you hated this coin haha

That will go down in history as the greatest fail of the RM.

I'm sorry but whoever designed that dress had no fashion sense or just no sense at all. Wait, maybe this design started out as a McDonalds art contest.

Except he actually is a fashion and jewellery designer .. that's probably why his first designs had it more dress-like. Sadly they just wanted a map swinging its arms around instead of something 'fashionable' from him.

Totally agreed with that they could have used these precious metals in minting other coins rather than this eye sore design!

Sov.

This is the Hunchback Britannia. SOV.
