The latest release from Asturmint as part of the Germania Mint's 2oz coloured cast bar program is this superb debut issue in The Outer Space series. Called The Astronaut, it depicts a futuristic human astronaut on an alien planet, another planet filling the sky because of its proximity. Terrific artwork, which bodes well for a series with [...]
Numiscollect's innovative Dot Art & Pointillism series has just launched its sixth coin, and it continues to surprise with its wide range of subjects. Pointillism was developed by Post-Impressionist painter Georges Seurat and Neo-Impressionist painter Paul Signac, both Frenchmen working in Paris in the mid-1880’s, from principles discovered by French chemist, Michel Eugène Chevreul. It involves the creation [...]
The two-ounce coloured cast bar selection continues to expand into new themes with the release of a new offering from the Royal Kraków Mint. This producer already issues an attractive 'Big Five of Africa' series, of which two are currently available, and they were amongst the first to move away from the use of ancient mythology as a [...]
Just a quick heads up that we've updated our comprehensive Bullion Profile of Scottsdale Mint's coloured minted bullion bars to include the new range of eleven bars themed around the upcoming Valentine's Day. There's around 60 different designs in the range to date, and we expect many more as the year progresses. These are cheap and simple [...]
The two-ounce coloured, cast silver bar program at the Germania Mint continues apace into 2025 with the second release in Asturmint's 'Dia de los Muertos' range. Unlike many of the other ranges that make up this program, this series debuts just a single release annually, which makes a nice change, especially for the collector on a budget. [...]
Mint XXI are pretty unique in offering a cohesive range of cryptocurrency-denominated silver coins, and the latest issue in their 'United Crypto States' (UCS) series is the 13th to date, and weighs in at one-ounce. Some in the wider range, specifically the 'Binary' trio, are double that, but this a more affordable proposition. This producer has always [...]
CIT added another pair of shaped minigold coins to their Golden Highlights series as part of their Autumn Launch, which brings the range up to just shy of 50 issues to date, a landmark we expect them to hit by mid-2025. This little half-gram gold coins have been perpetually popular over the years, with many mints [...]
One of the most attractive of Scottsdale Mint's many bullion series, the Samoan Seahorse is, as you no doubt guessed, a seahorse-themed annual release, issued for Samoa. It's only available as a one-ounce 0.999 silver coin, but since 2019 (the series debuted in 2018), there's been a choice of two finishes - the standard bullion (Scottsdale call [...]
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 [...]
An interesting series of coins, and a very specifically themed one, World Coin Appreciation's' Mysteries of the World series is an archaeology series, but just featuring those civilisations that sit on the North Latitude at 30 degrees. The latest coin in this series is the third to date, following 2021's Chinese Shu culture, and 2022s Ancient [...]
