Art-architectural coins have been a big collector favourite over the last few years, so perhaps it's only fitting that we get one more in before the end of 2015, and from a series that has had only a single entrant to date. Famous Opera Crystal is tightly focused on the worlds great opera houses and debuted [...]
In our view, art-architectural coins are some of the very finest that the numismatic colllector has to choose from. From the original Tiffany Art coin back in 2004 to the latest wide selection of coins released in numerous impressive series, the genre has grown and matured to a level of general excellence found almost nowhere else. [...]
The latest from CIT's batch of releases for the ANA show in the US are a pair of entrants in the mints epic Mountains & Flora series. Each 20g sterling silver coin depicts one of the world's great mountains, and at the bottom in colour, a piece of flora most associated with it. We have a full guide to [...]
Numiscollect week wraps up with a look at the latest release in one of the Dutch coin producers biggest series of coins, Biblical Stories. The debut coin, ironically entitled "Creation of the World", was issued in 2011, and like all the coins in this series, for the island state of Palau. This coin is the ninth to be released [...]
One of the highlights of Numiscollects many ranges for us is the superb Sacred Art series of art-architecture coins. This type of coin has been incredibly popular over the last five or six years, and one of the first wave to follow after the ground-breaking Tiffany Art series was this one. Launching in 2011, there were three coins released [...]
It’s fairly obvious that we’re strong admirers of the art-architectural genre of coins. Generally large, high-relief, antique-finish, silver designs with an insert of glass, gemstone or mineral, they epitomise the numismatic art with a combination of visual flair and technical excellence. We’ve been treated to some quite beautiful coins since Coin Invest Trust (CIT) debuted it’s 2004 Tiffany Art
Back in 2013, a coin featuring a white marble insert and depicting a werewolf made its debut, initiating a new series of 2 oz antique-finish coins called Mythological Creatures. The coin was widely liked and a sequel inevitable. Back in early February we took a first look at this second coin featuring a vampire and [...]
Not strictly an AgAuNEWS item, being a bimetallic coin, we do make the odd exception for something interesting, and this is certainly that. We're pretty sure that most are familiar with using a coin in a game, as a token for example, but we're pretty sure that using a coin as the games board is a little more unusual. [...]
We've seen plenty of pre-release coins at the World Money Fair in Berlin and it's time to start rolling them out. First up is the sequel to last years hit 'Werewolf' coin, one that appeared out of the blue from Liechtenstein-based producer, Coin Invest Trust (CIT) in October 2013. It seemed popular enough at the time with lots [...]
It's time for the World Money Fair in Berlin and so it's time for the latest in Coin Invest Trust's massively respected and multi award-winning 'Tiffany Art' series of Art-Architectural coins to put in an appearance. One of the very few series of coins to successfully appreciate heavily in value AND maintain it in the long term, it's safe to [...]
