The latest in Precious Metal Collector's copious line-up of fine art coins is now available to order, and this time it's a 1799 work by Jacques-Louis Davis, called 'The Intervention of the Sabine Women'. The painting is based around the story of early Rome, who set out to raid the neighbouring Sabine people, and capture their [...]
We've been covering Scottsdale Mint's ever-expanding range of coloured, one-ounce, minted silver bars for a while now, as we feel they do have some crossover with the coin market, having a reliance on artistic design. This particular range encompasses quite a few different themes, and we collected them all into one of our Bullion Profiles, so feel free [...]
Music legends don't get any more legendary than James Marshall Hendrix, known to the world as Jimi Hendrix. His mastery of the electric guitar was almost absolute, and his hits remain loved to this day. Born in 1942, he started with the guitar when he was 15, but only gained fame when he moved to England in [...]

The range debuted in 2022 with the Iberian Lynx, followed by 2023s Bull, and 2024s Carthusian Horse. For 2024, the design is of an [...]
Back in January, we reported on the debut of a new series of miniatures from Coin's Today called 'Divine Weapons' the first of which was the Thunderbolt of Zeus. This was a limited antiqued miniature, with some quite extensive gilded highlighting. Now, the South Korean producer has launched the more common antiqued variant, We won't go into too [...]
The second of the two new Carpathian Mint coloured, two-ounce cast silver bars released today is our favourite of the pair, part of their Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse range. This is also the second release, although this series will have four in total, and follows the earlier 'White Horse' bar. We reckon the Red Horse is [...]
The Carpathian Mint, amongst its often very impressive coin issues, also puts out some coloured, two-ounce cast silver bars under the Germania Mint program, and the two series currently ongoing, have both received new additions. The first one we're looking at is the second in their Grim Reaper range, showcasing imagery around everyone's favourite incarnation of death. [...]
A new coin from the Lithuanian Mint joins the relatively uncommon wearable's genre with a format made to be worn like a pendent. It bares a simple, stylish design, with a very Marilyn Monroe-esque depiction of a woman in an up blown white dress. Inset into her hair, is a small diamond, but otherwise, this face is [...]
The second of Germania Mint's own series in their coloured cast 2oz silver bar program, one used by many other producers to bring designs to market, was Gods, closely following the now complete Goddesses series of six designs. Gods is also a six-bar range, and we suspect one that was due to complete last year, and also [...]
The Royal Kraków Mint's series of cast two-ounce silver bars, under the Germania Mint program, continues to grow with the addition of the third of the bars in their African Big Five series. The two previous issues featured the lion and the elephant, and for this third release, it's another big cat - the leopard. These bars [...]
