Biblical Series 53, 54, and 55: The Sermon on the Mount +2 silver coins (2023 Scottsdale Mint)
The 60-coin, 10-year Biblical Series program of two-ounce silver coins, continues its inevitable march to completion with the debut of the 52nd, 53rd, and 54th issues. Scottsdale Mint has brought the series up-to-date much quicker than we thought they would, and this finalisation of the 2023 releases, means there’s a great chance the last six coins will debut later in 2024. Again, these feature famous stories in the Bible, in this case The Sermon on the Mount., Moses in the Bulrushes, and Zechariah’s Vision of the Chariots.
As always, the coin designs are a reproduction of the original Gustave Dore woodcuts, and those rarely disappoint. A series for those who have a deep interest in the subject (and lots of commitment!), it has grown into a comprehensive look at one of histories most important books. Check out our comprehensive Coin Series Profile for a look at all the releases to date, and some background information.
