After a long Covid-induced delay, Scottsdale finally round out the 2021 schedule of its ten-year, sixty-coin Biblical Series of two-ounce silver coins. We’ve covered all of these to date, as we do get a good few questions about their availability, so if you want to know more about the other 41 coins released to date, feel free to head on over there for a full overview.

The 42nd coin is called ‘The Transfiguration of Jesus’ which alludes to a Biblical event where Jesus, Peter, Paul, and James pray on a mountain, and Jesus starts shining with rays of light, whereupon Moses and Elijah appear and converse with him. I’m sure Christians will know the story better already. As always, the coin is a cropped reproduction of one of Gustave Dore’s much-admired woodcuts, and a good one at that. If you’re going to do a series like this, quality source material is essential, and Scottsdale’s series has had no problems on that score.

We guess the 2022 run of six coins will start soon, and no doubt Scottsdale Mint will do what they can to catch up to the original release schedule. There are just three years to go, and I have to admit to not thinking a series this ambitious would get this far, especially in light of their cancelled Vikings series, but kudos to them for sticking with what is obviously a popular, and very well produced coin range. It should ship in 2-3 weeks, and has promotional pricing for the first month, we believe.
