Hello! I have a 2 pound silver coin in the Britannia design. I have doubts about its authenticity, since its design does not correspond to any of the variants listed in Numista. Since its obverse has a textured field, but its reverse does not, I leave you a photo of it. ps: its weight and diameter are correct
Thanks!

No - that is the obverse only - the reverse has sun rays.
Like this has >

So is a mixture of the two.

The three coins >
have references >
Sp# BF5
Sp# BF6
Sp# BF19
so it could be one of the other numbers inbetween.

As that is now at least two members who just saw the
main two pictures, and due to the radical design change, surely a new page is needed?
Do you have a Spink catalogue - does 2017 have a separate number?
Just asking.

I have noted this as a new page however spinks 2020 does not have a reference number, but have been informed that the 2021 edition will have a changed britannia section or at least an overhauled section, so I was waiting until then to make the request for a change. But yes it does need its own page sadly!

¡Gracias a todos por sus respuestas! ¿Qué opinas de la pieza en sí? parece genuino?
