Celtic Animals - Rabbit (2021 APMEX)
Another new limited mintage silver bullion coin series from APMEX debuted last year, called ‘Celtic Animals’. Similar in concept to their ‘Mandala Animals’ series, it depicts animals not in a natural form, but instead constructed from the symbology associated with that culture. They look like they’ve been constructed almost as if in a small, intricate tattoo style.
They look okay. The Mandala series was okay and this is more of the same. This second annual issue shows us a Rabbit (above), following last years Ox (below), which at least means they’re keeping the choice of subjects sensibly limited to those that were known, and likely depicted in Celtic society. A Celtic Kangaroo might be a bit of a hard sell!
Unlike Mandala, Celtic Animals is restricted to a single format – one ounce silver – but does maintain a very small mintage, in this case just 5,000 pieces. Issued for the Republic of Chad, it has their national emblem on the obverse. Available now.
