This purportedly 12-coin series is divided into four groups of three coins, (although it's possible it may stop at this ninth issue, after [...]
Along with the Royal Mint's Sovereign bullion coin, the South African Mint's Krugerrand is an absolute icon of the numismatic world, and has been since its introduction way back in 1967. We've covered many of these in the past, but in conjunction with German producer, MDM, the tiny 1/50th oz variant is back on offer. This first [...]
While the first producer of bullion coins in Australia you think of might be the Perth Mint, the Royal Australian Mint has, over the last few years, been building up a range of their own that's at least as good when it comes to design.

This artist uses daggeography, which, through the mix of oxidising and colouration, gives an intensely shiny backdrop to the image. The bar is called Butterfly I, and is a beautiful, really showing off [...]
The latest release from Asturmint as part of the Germania Mint's 2oz coloured cast bar program is this superb debut issue in The Outer Space series.

The two-ounce coloured, cast silver bar program at the Germania Mint continues apace into 2025 with the second release in Asturmint's 'Dia de los Muertos' range. Unlike many of the other ranges that make up this program, this series debuts just a single release annually, which makes a nice change, especially for the collector on a budget. [...]
The Royal Mint reissues the UK/US Special Relationship 'The British Lion & American Eagle' bullion coin range in gold and silver for 2025 Last year, the Royal Mint employed the talents of iconic ex-US Mint coin artist, John Mercanti, to design a new coin range celebrating the historic relationship between the United States of America, and [...]
One of the most attractive of Scottsdale Mint's many bullion series, the Samoan Seahorse is, as you no doubt guessed, a seahorse-themed annual release, issued for Samoa. It's only available as a one-ounce 0.999 silver coin, but since 2019 (the series debuted in 2018), there's been a choice of two finishes - the standard bullion (Scottsdale call [...]
