2005 Coins
The big news for 2005 has to be that the British Royal Mint is to issue some of its 2005 coins and sets early, so that they will be available for Christmas. This is unprecedented for the Royal Mint, but perhaps they are learning from the example of the Perth Mint in Australia, who very efficiently issue many of their next year's coins during the last quarter of the current year. Perhaps they have also seen our "Next Year's Coins" pages on our websites, and realised that people want next year's coins early, as Christmas gifts, New Year gifts, and just because many collectors are keen to get their new coins as soon as possible.

Issue limits for the uncirculated version may be kept at 100,000 and the proofs at 12,500 plus some reserved for proof sets. This will also apply to the half sovereigns, and also to the gold proof £2 and £5 coins also. This also will apply to all the coins in the 3 coin and 4 coin gold proof sovereign sets.
