By |2023-06-15T12:58:14+01:00June 15th, 2023|Categories: , |

TEXTURED FINE ART RANGES (2017) by Powercoin Much admired on its debut, especially by us here at AgAuNEWS, Powercoin's first Great Micromosaic Passion coin did something different with the generally conservative fine-art genre. The use of a cleanly defined texture to impart a unique look has lifted the often stale procession of masterpieces coins we usually get, and to great effect. They followed the success of the series with [...]

By |2022-11-14T18:05:10+00:00November 14th, 2022|Categories: Art & Literature, Coloured, Science, Silver, CIT Coin Invest, Palau, Powercoin|

Powercoin extends its Micromosaic Passion, and Cyborg Revolution series with five classic ladies and an angry doggy Along with their Micropuzzle Treasure series, Micromosaic Passion was an interesting concept whereby finely struck lines, in conjunction with high-quality colour, gave the impression the image was built up of smaller pieces. The puzzle coins were very well done, but we particularly liked the mosaic ones for the flowing pieces, expertly realised to form [...]

VIDEOGAMES ON COINS: A multi-mint round-up of gaming and numismatics Video games have grown from the weird little hobby of the far-sighted few, to a mainstream juggernaut that drawfs the movie and music industries. It’s easy to understand why. Other forms of entertainment generally involve soaking up someone else's vision, but gaming allows you to control the narrative personally, to a quite extraordinary degree in some modern titles. From early, [...]

A holographic enamel brings the Chameleon to life for the first 'Amazing Animals' high-relief silver coin While specialising more in drawing from the ancient world for inspiration, Numiartis have issued some excellent coins in other genres as well, with the Notre Dame, and 'So Art' puzzle coins standing out.

MDM Week: Tutankhamun, the boy pharoah, was discovered a century ago and the coin world marks the anniversary It's incredible to believe that a relatively minor pharoah, one that was sickly and died at under 20 years old, and one that was buried in the smallest pharoah's tomb in the Valley of the Kings, would come to be the symbol of Ancient Egypt to the modern world. The excitement around [...]

One of the ultimate video games, Tetris, inspires a new range of coins and rounds from APMEX We've seen a growing number of videogame properties making their way to the coin world and it's hardly surprising.
