We’ve often waxed lyrical over the amazing stackable silver bullion issues that have emanated from South Korean producer, Coins Today, which have impressed in both quality, and variety. Designs have encompassed a diverse range of subjects, but it all started just three years ago with their first release – the Doggaebi.

The Doggaebi should be familiar to buyers of the Chiwoo Cheongwang bullion coins, forming a shield for the hero. It’s a protective spirit in Asian mythology, often adorning houses as a roof tile. The first stackable issue from Coins Today was shaped like one, and sported an open mintage, an antique finish, and a two-ounce weight. Since then, they’ve added a gorgeous one-kilo version, and a tiny little half-ounce variant to expand offerings to more budgets.

Now joining the range is a two-ounce proof finish version, identical in all regards to that 2021 debut release, except for the change in finish. What has changed is the mintage, with this one capped at just 2,000 units, and with production confined to 2024. In addition, the original antiqued variant will be discontinued. The passing of a classic, but we don’t doubt that Coins Today will keep us distracted with a plethora of new issues to come.
