I ordered two of the standard coins (£12.50) and at checkout they were reduced to £10 each. FYI for anyone else who might fancy ordering more than one.

Tempted to get a silver one. Limited numbers though for the gold (225 only). For the silver it is in the '000s: 2000 for the 'Piedfort' and 4500 for the 'standard' silver. Either gold or silver probably would look awesome on display on my Tolkien bookshelf. The dwarf in me wants the gold one.
Looks like the 'Piedfort' version of the silver coin is just a thicker (and more limited) version of the 'standard' silver coin:
"These special coins were given the name 'Piedfort' meaning 'heavy measure. ' Striking these thicker coins began later in England and was less frequent, although Edward I did issue thick silver pennies. In the Middle Ages coins were often struck in different places, not just London."
(Googled this, appears on the RM website somewhere).
Edit: Just see Eorl the Younger described the Piedfort in an earlier post - sorry for repetition.
