Asturmint's contribution to the range of two-ounce cast bars under Germania Mint's new programme has been more extensive than most. They have a seven bar 'Seven Deadly Sins' set, an Independence Day range, and a beautiful Day of the Dead bar, but what we have here are the third, fourth and fifth releases in the Poker Cards [...]
The tenth of Mint of MK's extravagant Twelve Constellations, or Twelve Zodiac Signs series is now available to order, and it's Capricorn, the goat with the fishtail.

Australian dealer and producer, Downies, have issued the 11th design in their very impressive Australia at Night series. The series depicts iconic, and lesser known, native Australian animals, but in a nocturnal environment.

Here, we have the solitary 50 Franc gold coin they issue annually, and for 2024, it's to mark 200 years since the Swiss Shooting Sports Federation (SSV) was inaugurated. This is the second of a [...]
Poland's national bank has a fine portfolio of coins taking inspiration from this Central European nation's long and eventful past. At times a major European power, Poland also has a significant history in the world of numismatics. A fine example of this is one of our all-time favourite series, Treasures of Stanislaw August, and another is this [...]
The third in the Agoro’s ‘Star Trek Vehicles’ range of one-ounce silver coins is out now, and after the original Starship Enterprise, and Deep Space 9, we're seeing possibly the most popular vessel in all of Star Trek canon, the USS Enterprise D.
