There was a little controversy with the issue of this NCLT Crown issued under the auspices of the Falkland Islands. Apparently, the use of the word "Britannia" is Trademarked by the British Royal Mint who took the Pobjoy Mint to court. Pobjoy was forced to change the design, dropping the "Britannia Rules the Waves" legend. The mintage plan was for 50k to be struck. Only 7,329 were minted/released before the forced change with very few being returned by dealers. Figures at the time of ANA's Nov '17 publication of the News Article put the number of graded/slabbed PR70's at only 67 and PR69's at 890. The coin here is one of those PR69's, although I cannot see a single issue on this coin that would mark it down. You can read the full "Numismatics" article at this: [ link ]
