Nobody does a set series like the Czech Mint, who have a fine history of issuing themed collections of mainly silver coins. We've covered quite a few of them here, like Prehistoric World, Armoured Vehicles, and Inventions of Leonardo, and the mint has a few in progress right now, at various states of completion. One of them is [...]
We like a good Czech Mint series for a number of reasons. There are a pre-set number of coins in each one, usually issued over three years, they're relatively affordable, well-designed, and there's often a collector's binder/tin to keep it all in. We've covered several of them in our Coin Series Profiles, such as Prehistoric World, Armoured [...]
The Czech Mint’s three-year, twelve-coin, showcasing the of the great tanks of the Second World War, has, sadly, come to an end with the release of the final design, the Soviet IS-2 heavy. The coins have been released four per year, one each from the Soviet Union, Britain, the US, and Germany, and in 1oz silver, and [...]
It's always great to see the debut issue in a new series from the Czech Mint, who, like the Mint of Poland, have quite an outward looking policy when it comes to subjects. This time we have quite a rarity in that it's a three-ounce silver range, bigger than the mints usual offerings. The series of six coins [...]
It's a favourite subject of mine, so it's fair to say the Czech Mint's three-year, twelve-coin look at the tanks of the Second World War, was always going to get a Coin Series Profile, and that is indeed the case. The coins have been released at the rate of four per year, one each from the Soviet Union, [...]
The 12 Guides of Christmas: Number 2 - Armoured Vehicles by the Czech Mint Just a heads-up that the second of our '12 Guides of Christmas' is now live, and as promised, it's the Czech Mint's excellent 'Armoured Vehicles' range that we recently got up-to-date with. Not the most festive of subjects, perhaps, (although [...]
The Czech Mint rounds out the second of three sets of four Second World War tank coins with the fearsome Panther In 2022, the Czech Mint debuted a new four-coin series featuring one of my favourite thing - tanks. This isn't a popular subject in numismatic circles, with military hardware seemingly less popular than ever, [...]
Bullion round-up 14: Germania, Czechia, Slovakia, & South Africa get fine new issues, and there's the snake of your worst nightmares Our latest bullion coin round-up is actually the first of two parts, as there are just so many of them to look at in a single post. The other part should be up either [...]
The fourth and last of the Czech Mint's 'Jungle Book' coins is now available, and features the Wolf Pack and Akela. This has been, stylistically, a very distinctive series by artist, Asamat Baltaev, and is based on the classic Rudyard Kipling book, with not a sign of Disney nonsense anywhere to be seen. All the coins [...]
We were pleasantly surprised by the first of the Czech Mint's 'Jungle Book' coins that we covered back in March. It had an interesting and attractive style, undertaken by one of the mint's stalwart artists, Asamat Baltaev, one we have a high regard for here. Based on the classic Rudyard Kipling book, and not the sanitised Disney film, [...]
