Our first new bullion coin release round-up of 2022 is a varied mix Continuing our regular round-ups of new bullion coins entering an ever-increasing market full of activity, is our first one of 2022. There's another wide selection of subjects, although formats tend to have stuck close to the traditional one-ounce in most cases. There [...]
The Perth Mint expands its uber-cool The Simpsons bullion coin range with 'Marge & Maggie' If you don't know 'The Simpsons', (where have you been..?) they're animated, hugely popular, even after 33 seasons, and one of the big franchises at the Perth Mint. There've been many proof coins, mostly unadventurous in design, but also a [...]
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 [...]
One of the Perth Mint's wackier ranges, the loose mix of antiqued coins with unusual centres has been in production since they released a very pretty Alice in Wonderland coin with a small clock in the middle, back in 2015. Over the years we've seen a compass, thermometer, even an abacus inset into coins, which might sound [...]
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 [...]
The Perth Mint expands its eclectic range of coins sporting unusual centres with an hourglass issue We haven't covered Perth Mint issues as much as we should, mainly because they've leaned heavily into numismatic versions of their iconic bullion coins and there's only so much you can write about those. However, we've missed a few goodies, [...]
Movie, TV and Popular Culture coin roundup for early September - Batman, Monsters Inc, and head bangers This is our third, roughly fortnightly round-up of coins in the popular culture genre. This has turned out to be an excellent way to corral the ever-increasing number of such coins, which are popular, so worthy of coverage, but time [...]
The Perth Mint debuts its 2022 bullion range, with new additions to its iconic core nature ranges The highlight of the bullion calendar is here again, and it's the launch of the Perth Mint's iconic nature-themed core bullion range. Many of these series date back decades and come from a time when choice was considerably more restricted [...]
We've just seen the issue of the new Quokka and Wombat silver bullion coins from the Perth Mint and now it's the turn of the second in the mints 'Australian Brumby' horse series. Launching last year with a nice running design by Jennifer McKenna, she's returned for 2021 with another very attractive coin. We like the horse [...]
Another round up of the latest in movie and television coins - The Minions are Back, as is Star Wars, Harry Potter and more We published a roundup of popular culture coins last month and it looks to be a decent way to cover many of the ever increasing coins in this genre without cutting down [...]
