Title: Liz's 5th Portrait

Sorry if this has already been discussed and I missed it, since the Royal Mint has been going on about the new design for a while now.

Any news on us using this new portrait?

And given her advancing years, what's the likelihood any coins with this image will end up in short supply, even from the UK?

Circulation coins may end up in short supply, but the Royal Mint will aggressively market their sets and precious metal offerings to everyone.

They've already begun, if you look at their website.

I am waiting for them to feature the Queen's portrait by Rolf Harris on a coin. Might be a long wait. :diablo:
