This series is marker out by some quite dramatic imagery featuring many of the gods in the Ancient Egyptian pantheon. Unlike some of the themes in this range, the Egyptian pantheon is open to plenty of artistic licence. Two of the coins to date have a two-ounce option (marked with an asterix).

Anything with dinosaurs on it would normally get an immediate thumbs-up from us, and some of these are, indeed, good designs. Don’t buy these expecting scientific accuracy, however, as the AI engine has made a real dog’s dinner of the Pterodactyl, and especially the Stegosaurus coin, which bear little to no link to reality. The series is an attractive production, apart from that, with neat borders on both faces, and the usual micro mintages.

The series that started it all is probably still our favourite. Depicting five cats and five dogs in human roles, they have a great mix of humour and artistic style. Setting the precedent for following series, they have a common obverse, and a common box. Terrific little series.

The second wave of these AI coins featured, appropriately enough, aliens. There’s a mix of the classic flying saucers in a variety of settings, including a pyramid one, no doubt inspired by the idiotic writings of Graham Hancock, and some various aliens, including the iconic ‘Greys’. The obverse has a neat border filled with aliens and saucers, and the common box is well themed.

In addition to this first issue, Pop Coins released 2 oz versions of each design, to be issued in two waves of five. We’ve asterisked the five designs in the first wave in the coin titles above. The box is slightly different, and can be seen below. A special in 1 oz and 2 oz weights, as well as a 1 oz gilded variant, were produced for the 2025 Berlin World Money Fair.

A subject that has garnered significant interest in the numismatic world of late, the Day of the Dead festival, more correctly called Dia de los Muertos, has generated some stunning artwork, and these are no exception. Three designs make up the debut release, and they have a common obverse, and a common box design. The Mechanical Skull design is particularly beautiful. A second tranche of three designs has since joined them.

A clever merging of the cult of Japanese anime, and the staid world of fine art masterpieces. Some of histories great works have been reimagined with anime characters, complete with the customary huge eyes. This one is unusual in weighing just half an ounce.

A range of ‘event’ designs, kicking off with Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year. Again, there’s a common obverse, this time with the border art themed for the major holidays, with scores of small elements from a selection of the filling the space. The box image below is a sample of them. For the second wave, Halloween was added to the roster, bringing it up to five.

Only one issue at the time of writing, this series will use the Hindu pantheon as subjects, and an incarnation of Vishnu, Lord Ram, is the first. These have a relatively mundane obverse, lacking the interesting customisation of the others.
