Just last week we did a Quicklook at Panthera Tigris, the fourth issue in Allcollect’s Predators bullion coin series. We noted at the time that several other issues were in the wings, appearing at various places in a fairly haphazard way, but we'll cover them as they go for sale. First of these is the only reptile [...]
It was only two months ago that KOMSCO released the 2020 Korean Phoenix silver bullion coin, and now they've added a one-ounce gold version to sit alongside it.

The New Zealand Mint's Star Wars bullion coin range continues apace with the first issue to reference the new 'The Mandalorian' television series.

Last year saw the Loggerhead Turtle the subject of choice, but this time sees us back with the fish. The Flying Fish is one of those anomalous creatures that [...]
Allcollect's Predators bullion coin series continues apace with the fourth issue, Panthera Tigris, or Tiger. An unusual series because it employs a range of finishing touches that are rarely seen in the predominately brilliant uncirculated finish competitors. Each issue has an incused footprint that is partly reverse-proof finished, the foreground of the main coin has a matte [...]
As well as the Back to the Future coin we just looked at, monster hit Jurassic Park also has a 1oz silver (0.999) bullion coin available to order now. Also issued for Niue, thus carrying the same QEII effigy on its obverse, it depicts the now super famous logo of the fictional theme park. The silhouette of [...]
The limited run bullion coin market continues to diversify with the launch of a couple of new media franchise coins. The first one we're looking at is a 10,000 mintage 1oz silver (0.999) coin themed around the popular Back to the Future movies.

This was followed early this year with one of our favourite [...]
