    That 50 cent coin looks cool in the presentation card🎉. Nice 🙆‍♂️.
    Thanks for sharing, as always J

    'EW' (Elyssa Waterford) has been with the RAM since (at least) last year. She's designed one of the 2023 mini emus and the 2024 'Most Dangerous: Tiger Snake' coins. Can't recall others.

      Ahh excellent! Thanks for that Allan! I'll be sure to keep an eye out for her future designs!

    Those dragons coins are nice looking but nothing beats the original ones from 2012

      Ohhh very true, the series II lunar program was an absolute ripper! Thanks for watching Jason! ☺

    I think the RAM is doing a superb job, their coins are of very high quality in every aspect. It is great for Australia (and the world!) that they have started producing bullion coins and collectables.

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It is very cool to see that they are continuing with the bullion coin program, the obverse for the lunar series is really great!

    I felt much the same and didn't bid for any Dragon coins in the last EQL.

    The dragon on the 50 cent looks similar to those on the Chinese cash coins of the 1890s-1910s, but the clouds from Tibetan Sho coins. It looks really nice. I wonder who would win, The Chinese or European Dragon.

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's a great observation! I think it has a really mystical quality and makes it seem quite unique for an Australian 50c piece for sure! Thanks for watching!

    Your videos are always interesting and informative. It will be interesting to see ho w the availability turns out on the two coin set .i think i will be able to get a set because they are $1 . Not as popular with some people.

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for watching Wisey! I think you're right on that too! ☺

    That's Cool that you don't show all the coin releases in one video as it may DRAG-ON.

      Yeah it worked out well that I could SCALE the video back 😅

    Just a thought, a good thing for on the wall would be one of those 1966 carded sets meant for hanging at the bank (that has the two round 50c coins in it)
    Also I hate to be that guy but any word on Opal Dragons? I imagine stock is probably been and gone silently but had to ask.

    How come Noddy’s not on the observe?

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We'll continue to see QEII obverses being used until mid-year at this stage. I think it had something to do with all of the approvals required for the transition although at this point it just seems a bit crazy!

    Awesome video as usual Matt. Will the RAM be releasing the $1 1/2 oz Silver Frosted Ingot - Year of the Dragon coin. Cheers Ivan

    Hey Matt, I heard they arent doing a 1oz gold investment coin. Have you got info about that? I was hoping it would still come at some point

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmm great question, I haven't actually heard anything beyond the 5oz gold coin but keep an eye on the mints website for any big updates!

    • @ThompsonsCoins

      Hahahha always a good mention!! It was a fair point and hopefully in time I'll be able to suitably jazz up my set!! Thanks for watching mate!

    Talk about dragon over load this year.
    Although I don't collect the RAM releases, the 50c design is nice.
    Is it the same design for the 1kg coin?

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unfortunately, the kilo is the same as the dollar which didn't really set my world ablaze! Thanks for watching mate!

    @dleetr 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Could tell when you picked it up that it wasn't real. from how light it was. It is a cool thing though, this is a correct opinion. heh.

    The 50c dragon looks abit bloated. The other dragons look too snake like. Where are the dragon scales? So will give them a miss. Nice try RAM. Thanks for update Matt.

    I can't wait til all the fuss with the lunar coins is over and done with for a while. I've absolutely no interest in them (not that I can't appreciate the skill gone into creating them).

    • @ThompsonsCoins
      @ThompsonsCoins  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The dragon always seems to bring a heap of excitement but it will he nice to see some new themes coming down the line! 😆

      @peecee1384 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Me neither! Mind you, I choose to buy some of the basic ones.... 50 cents, $1. Just keep my set(s) complete.

    Hi Matt , random question for you. I was wondering if the valued amounts in the new Renniks book are anything to go by for a realistic value ? Thanks . I also am over the dragons. Ha ha. Always look forward to your vids
    Cheers.
