We'll be taking a better look at most of these coins in the coming weeks, but here's a roundup of the big new Summer Launch coin range from probably the best producer in the [...]
The last swansong before the reveal of the 2021 bullion designs next month, it will be a shame to see the 2020 Kookaburra disappear, as we feel it's been one of the best issues in this long running series for some years. The coolest part of all has been the reproduction of the debut issue as a [...]
Running since 2017 and meant to hit 22 issues when complete, 'The Enduring Soldiers Accursed by the Communists' is the snappy title of a serious set of coins looking at the heroes in Poland that fought, many giving their lives, against the Soviet Union after the Second World War.

The British Red Cross was founded 150 years ago, just 7 years after the inception of the International Red Cross in Switzerland. Since [...]
The great numismatic experimenters, CIT, issued a hugely popular and very unusual coin at the 2018 World Money Fair in Berlin, called 'Trapped'. It's hard to describe the style, but I guess a face pushing up from below a fine mesh would be pretty accurate.
