Acid is used for the colour.

£550!  😮 Great marketing, appealing to the British peoples patriotism. In 15 years time it will be worth 5 oz of silver. I often come across Westminster collection, Westminster Mint, Franklin Mint and Uncle Tom Cobley and all Mint products, from people who wish to sell their fathers or grand fathers collection. They paid an excessive amount for this collective pile of junk. It seems anything that comes with a Shinny Fake Mahogany Box, Certificate of Authenticity and Limited Mintage are the key words needed to reel people in. Can you imagine how many decent rare coins that would actually increase in value with £550? They could get a Full, Half and quarter Sovereign and still have change for fish & chips.

Damn - sold out! Well, that's saved me £550. :lol:

This must be a candidate for the ugliest "coin" every produced. A "masterpiece" created by pushing a poppy pin into something?

£550 price tag ...

£50 for charity, £56 for the silver, probably (considerably) less than £100 production cost and the rest for profit ...
