The 60-coin, 10-year Biblical Series program of two-ounce silver coins, continues its inevitable march to completion with the debut of the first pair of 2024 issues. Scottsdale Mint is maybe on track to finish this hugely ambitious series before the year is up. This new pair represent the 55th and 56th releases to date, so there are just four issues to complete a series, we suspected when it started, would never see completion. We’re glad to be wrong.

The whole series is a close reproduction of the Gustave Dore Biblical woodcuts, and given the sheer number of them, finding sixty to do service on coins couldn’t have been too difficult. The latest pair depicts the famous fall of the walls of Jericho, and the story of Christ fainting under the cross. Boxed with a COA, they each have a mintage of 1,499 pieces.
