Asturmint's 'Camelot' series of 2 oz, high-relief coins is up to three issues from the twelve that were originally planned, and the companion 1 oz silver bullion variants have now reached the same level, with the debut of the Sir Perceval coin. The earlier pair, Arthur and Lancelot, also had additional variants, utilising ennoblement with gilding, and [...]
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. Called The Astronaut, it depicts a futuristic human astronaut on an alien planet, another planet filling the sky because of its proximity. Terrific artwork, which bodes well for a series with [...]
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. [...]
Asturmint's contribution to the range of two-ounce cast bars under Germania Mint's new programme has been more extensive than most. They have a seven bar 'Seven Deadly Sins' set, an Independence Day range, and a beautiful Day of the Dead bar, but what we have here are the third, fourth and fifth releases in the Poker Cards [...]

Asturmint have shown the second release in their Poker Cards range of cast silver bars, produced under Germania Mint's program, that seems to have stirred real interest in the collector community. The bar follows the standard format of these, cast with two ounces of 0.999 silver to a specific size, and antique-finished. The selling point of these [...]

The coloured 2oz cast silver bar market continues to expand with additions from Germania Mint, Carpathian Mint and Asturmint A new concept launched in January by Germania Mint, the two-ounce cast silver bar with a themed, coloured front, has certainly captured the attention of buyers, and their introduction of a program to work with other [...]
We've seen a few high-end coins make the transition to bullion over the last couple of years, but it still remains a relatively uncommon thing.
