Bullion round-up 12: Australia, Cambodia, Cameroon, Samoa, and the UK, add new coins in our last collation of 2022 Our twelfth bullion round-up was due to go live late on Friday, but a refresh to the site's theme framework meant our attention was occupied elsewhere. It comes with quite a few tweaks, which we'll try to [...]
Just a quick heads-up that, as we suggested, the Rolling Stones bullion versions of the latest in the Royal Mint's 'Music Legends' series is now available to order. These are exclusively distributed by US dealer, MTB (Manfra, Tordella & Brookes), so availability might vary a little from a direct Royal Mint issue, but they should be fairly easy [...]
Want to guarantee a Star Wars coin sells out? Stick Grogu, Baby Yoda as it's erroneously known, on the face. The little, supporting CGI creature was the smash-hit of the massively popular The Mandalorian, Star Wars TV series. This time he's depicted eating a possibly not quite dead, squid-like soup in a comical scene, sure to please fans [...]
Is there are more appropriate subject for a Disney bullion coin than Scrooge McDuck? We don't think so, so the appearance of the mean, rich duck on a silver bullion coin is entirely proper. Celebrating his 75th anniversary, Scrooge McDuck is seen in a typical pose, wearing a top hat, carrying a cane, and dripping with wealth. None [...]
Hong-Kong based dealer, LPM Group, has a fine reputation for inventive bullion coins series, and the latest to join their repertoire is 'Asian Mythical Creatures'.

A staple of the precious metal numismatic world for decades, only major events, like a jubilee, for example, ever provoke a change [...]
Bullion round-up 11: Superheroes, Sith Lords, pharaohs, wildlife, innovators, and America's favourite family Our eleventh round-up of the latest bullion coins, and yes, I still hate doing these. The work putting these together is less than doing individual articles for each one, but it's still 13 designs, from multiple sources, with varying degrees of image quality. [...]
Germania Mint's 'Knight of Malta' returns with a coin looking at the pivotal 16th-century Great Siege of Malta It what just last year that Germania Mint announced a deal to design and mint coins for the Mediterranean island of Malta. We don't see much in the way of precious metal numismatics from Malta, so going outside [...]
Bullion round-up 10: Elephants, Samurai, Moggies, Sailing Ships, and the jelly of doom... I say this every time, but I always underestimate how long these bullion round-ups take to put together. This one was due out yesterday, but here we are anyway. It's a great selection, but doesn't cover everything we know about. The Royal Mint's new [...]
Aphrodite joins LPM's Goddeses of Olympus bullion range in both gold and silver The latest bullion version of the Perth Mint's iconic 'Gods' series of antiqued numismatics has just debuted, and is the sixth to date.
