Emporium Hamburg's second series of Prehistoric Life bullion coins continues with one of the oceans greatest ever predators - Megalodon The subject of Prehistoric Life, and this second series, is reason enough for it to be one of my favourite bullion coin ranges, but it's pleasing to see that Emporium Hamburg have done such a terrific [...]
Here's a July 2025 round-up of some new silver and gold bullion coin releases from around the globe It's been a few months since our last round-up of new bullion coins, so here's a selection of some of the latest. It isn't comprehensive, as I lack the arm count of an octopus, but they do [...]
Prehistoric Life II bullion range roars back to life with the first of three new 2025 designs, starting with the theropod, Carnotaurus Carnotaurus sastrei was a bipedal theropod dinosaur that inhabited what is now Argentina during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 72 to 69 million years ago.

It's animals all round for our latest bullion coin round-up (Week 46, 2024) A day late, as I spent most of yesterday updating guides and profiles (and losing the will to live in the process...), here's our fortnightly look at new bullion coins.

It's the last of those that [...]

A series of twelve coins issued over four years, the Stegosaurus pictured here is, sadly, the last of them.It keeps all those neat little touches [...]
Bullion round-up 18: A busy May continues with more EC8, prehistoric sea life, and modern nature from around the globe It was only on Friday last that we published a round-up of new bullion issues, but it was clear that the number of new coins was too much for a single compilation, so we did [...]
Bullion round-up 16: Ships on the water, superheroes under it, bulls, leopards and the arcade classic Dig-Dug Welcome to our sixteenth bullion coin round-up since we started doing these, and the second in March. It's been a busy month for new issues, and the selection of designs and formats continues to impress. We'd hoped to [...]
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.
