A superb miniature of Boba Fett headlines our last round-up of film & TV themed coins in 2021 The last round-up of film and television coins in 2021, and it's one dominated by the New Zealand Mint, offset by just a single release from APMEX. Despite that, a wide range of offerings headlined by a [...]
It seems that the darling of the moment in the popular culture genre is the anniversary of the legendary fighting game, Street Fighter, with both LPM and the NZ Mint issuing several different ranges. The latest is from the latter, and rather than being part of a uniquely Street Fighter series, it's the fourth annual release in the [...]
Movie & TV coin roundup for late November and there's bullion, and Captain Kirk launches Star Trek into the Chibiverse Round-up number six has come round sooner than we expected, or wanted, to be honest, but there's no escaping the fact the genre is on a roll at the moment. At least we have some neat [...]
Batman Returns with an impressive new 80 mm tall silver miniature of the Caped Crusader crusading It's been a while since we've seen a silver miniature emanate from the New Zealand Mint, with only Grogu from the mega-hit The Mandalorian show coming out, but we have seen others dip their toes in. The Mint of Gdańsk [...]
It's movie and TV coin time with our early November round-up of the new releases Our fifth round-up of movie and TV coins has a couple of surprises, but is generally more of the same. In general, it's more Chibi, more shaped coins, and more 007, so our decision to round these coins up rather than [...]
The popular culture invasion of the bullion market continues apace with the launch of the third of the New Zealand Mint's DC Comics rsnge. After Batman and Wonder Woman, we come to that most iconic of superheroes, Superman. It's actually a really good design, drawing heavily from the modern comic era rather than the movie world and it's [...]
We've already seen 'Faces of the Empire' take a look at the helmets of the Star Wars Universe, and it looks like the videogame 'Halo' is now getting the treatment. The seminal shooter which almost single-handedly ensured the success of Microsoft's first console, the original X-Box, is now 20 years old, so this is an anniversary release. [...]
After the writing and publication of our huge Thematic Guide to Harry Potter coins earlier this week, I was quite hoping not to have to look at another new one for a while, but that hope was in vain. The NZ Mint is adding the third of its six Hogwart's House crests one-ounce silver coins to the mix, [...]
Movie and TV coins for mid October - Potter, Batman, 007, Green Lantern, and a good doggie Regular media licenced coin roundup number four, we'll continue to do these as while they're quite time-consuming to put together, they are quicker than individual articles would be. Besides, the genre as a whole is quite repetitive, so it [...]
Chibi time again and these two are the second and last pair for September. This time around it's the second in the Disney Princesses sub-set, 'Snow White', and the second in the Street Fighter sub-set, Ken Masters. There as neat as ever and you'll either love them or hate them. There've been over 50 of these launched [...]
