2 Pounds 1oz BU 2020 Music Legends- Queen [opgelost]

Hi! I've recently bought this coin from a credible dealer in Portugal, but before and even after the purchase had been made, I've never seen this coin in the royal mint website where it should be. Do you know something about why this is happening? I know the coin is recent, but some information about price etc from the issuing authority would be good.

This is the link of the coin in the catalog: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces202821.html

Thank you

Not sure where you have been looking, but I searched just
now and went straight to their page ...
https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/music-legends/queen/

There is no 2 pounds 1oz BU 2020 coin mintage 25000 on that page of the royal mint website that you send the link... The only remotely similar coin is the 2 pounds 1 oz Proof 2020 but with 10000 maximum coin mintage and Proof not BU.

Unless I am mistaken ...
1oz is Silver
BU is Copper-nickel
so there can not be a coin that is a combination of both.
Your link is your coin, as it is Silver.
How can a Silver coin be Brilliant Uncirculated - as Silver does not circulate - surely ?!
Would like to see what other members say.

Also - yes there are different types of Silver coin,
such as standard or Proof and so on.
As yours is not Proof, then again your link is your coin.
Mintage numbers is a different issue.

I'm no expert but Beautiful UNC (BU) is just a classification and can be applied to every coin despite of its material composition. The coin I've bought is made of silver and the photos are in the catalog because it was me that added to the catalog. The only thing strange is this coin not being mentioned in the royal mint website and at the same time being sold in the internet and at dealers shops and websites!!

Perhaps it is easier if I show the website where I bought the coin : https://www.nnd.com.pt/index.php?option=com_eshop&view=product&id=12723&catid=129&Itemid=211

I did say that UNC means Uncirculated.
So BU is Brilliant Uncirculated.
HOW can a Silver coin circulate?
That site says a coin is both 1oz AND BU together - how can that be?
Again want to hear what others members say - I am just one (confused) person.

Can you ask that question of the site -
how can Silver also be BU on a coin?
I guess their page is wrong - perhaps.

If you do a quick research on google about this coin all the websites selling it have the same specifications including the BU characteristic . Anyway, lets hear what some other members opinion is and perhaps that will help formulating a conclusion .

Maybe they meant "BU" to be short for bullion.

I've got plenty of circulated silver coins!

However it's still technically correct as in the very strictest terms a silver or for that matter a CuNi coin shouldn't be described as BU. Unlike copper and bronze coins, these were never Brilliant (bright red) to begin with, so a mere Unc. ought to suffice.

Citeer: "Cerulean"​Maybe they meant "BU" to be short for bullion.

​Yes, this coin is a bullion coin and also a brilliant uncirculated type of coin. I've messaged the dealer from whom I bought the coin and he said that despite the information isn't mentioned in the royal mint website, he bought it from a company that deals with the royal mint and they have send the coins inside the oficial royal mint box.



That's the most recent information I have about this mysterious coin .
If anyone else knows something related to the royal mint's website please write it here. Thanks.
