The Witcher goes gold. All-new companion series to the chunky silver coins debuts with 'The Last Wish' WIth Peter Jackson's epic Lord of the Rings movie trilogy having resurrected fantasy as a viable genre, and Game of Thrones having done the same for television, it's of little surprise that the big media companies starting casting a wider net for stories to mske the transition to the visual world.

The Witcher is the world's first silver statue legal-tender coin, and it's a beauty We've seen a small increase in the number of miniatures/statuettes over the last few years, mainly with a range from the New Zealand Mint related to its various entertainment franchises (Disney, Star Trek, DC), and from Heads or Tales with a fine dinosaur selection (amongst others). We've even had the legendary Chiwoo Cheonwang get the treatment, but all [...]

Andrzej Sapkowski's hugely popular The Witcher books enter the world of coins with a striking duo Greek gods, Roman gods, Chinese warlords, weird ancient myths and legends, even the occasional real historical figure, have all been subjects of the Mint of Poland in its quite outstanding range of 2oz silver coins. To date, however, they've shown little inclination to applying their now signature format to modern interpretations of the [...]
It's been quite a while since we did a YouTube round-up of coin videos put out there by some of the world's biggest producers, but here we are again. Some of these we've covered in articles recently, but most we haven't, so it's a good way to increase coverage in the time we have. The Mint of Gdańsk has one for its new The Witcher gold coins, and PMC have an impressive strike for us [...]

A quartet of quite superb silver coins kicked off the programme, with the promise of a pair of gold coins, and a pair of silver coin statues to come. The former are now here.I'll straight up say that I think the design is awesome, full [...]
The first new updates of the year, and looking ahead through 2023 We're slowly building up a bit of momentum as 2023 gets underway, and we've concentrated on getting some housework done, and updating a few bits here and there. It's a lot of work, and as many of you know, everything on this site is done by me alone, a genuine one-man band, so what you see here is literally [...]

Guan Yu makes the jump from a two dimensional coin, to a three dimensional ten-ounce silver miniature Along with the New Zealand Mint and Coins Today, the Mint of Gdansk has released some quite outstanding silver cast miniatures, but is unique in actually making them legal tender coins as well. The first of them was a brilliant Geralt of Rivia statue, a detailed rendering of the hero of the popular 'The [...]
Bayern Munich's Polish football legend, Robert Lewandowski, stars in his own high-relief silver coin series Despite how massive the popularity and financial clout of the modern sporting star, it isn't often that any of them make the transition to the coin world. It doesn't matter if it's current racing drivers, boxers, or Olympians, numismatic issues are few and far between. We get coins for tournaments and events, of course, but rarely [...]
Batman Returns with an impressive new 80 mm tall silver miniature of the Caped Crusader crusading It's been a while since we've seen a silver miniature emanate from the New Zealand Mint, with only Grogu from the mega-hit The Mandalorian show coming out, but we have seen others dip their toes in.
