Afternoon everyone....
Somehow we made it through the crazy storms yesterday unscathed. There were no confirmed tornadoes that touched down. However there were several funnel clouds which did touch down in several locations in my state and others.
There was damage caused but from what I was able to gather it was minimal considering the potential damage they typically cause.
We did however get an immense amount of rain. Which the rivers are doing their best to keep within their confines. There are still lakes and puddles everywhere.
Today happens to be a beautiful day out, with a fair amount of sunshine. Hopefully it helps dry the ground out.
On a different note…..
So I am going to bring you a lovely silver proof Lady Britannia. This is the 2016 one ounce silver proof Britannia.
The design for the proof changes even year, just as the Bu version used to. But they stopped that on the BU version a while back now.
Here is some info on the coin:
Key Features: Composition: 1 troy ounce of .999 fine (99.9%) pure silver. Obverse (Heads): The fifth effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark. Reverse (Tails): Britannia holding a trident and Union Jack shield, with a watchful lion, designed by Philip Nathan. Finish: Proof finish (mirror-like fields with frosted devices). Security: A textured, hammered background field was introduced in 2016 for added security against counterfeiting. Mintage: A limited mintage of 7,000 for the standard proof version. Legal Tender: Backed by the British government with a face value of £2 (GBP).
Here she is....
