The legend that is Freddie Mercury is brought to numismatic life on the Czech Mint's super new gold & silver coins One of the greatest vocalists of all time, Freddie Mercury was the lead singe of a band with almost unparalleled popularity, Queen. They had an astounding range, covering everything from gentle ballads, to rock [...]
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 [...]
