How come? Do I get two cards? Or have they made a mistake and sent me the wrong card?

The NatWest gold account can be either a solo or a maestro card and this normally acts upon your credit rating so perhaps yours was less than what the advisor had thought and therefore you were not eligible for the Solo card. But to be honest it won’t make that much of a difference, I think the only main difference is that the maestro card cannot act as a cheque guarantee card. That’s it.
