The one that started it all, and created quite a buzz on the secondary market. It’s easy to see why, as the artwork is quite stunning, and also appears on the box. This is a six-bar series. The glyph on the back is the Germania Mint shield.

The popularity of Goddesses led to the very quick release of a companion Gods range, also drawing from Norse and Germanic mythology. The artwork is of a similar style, and is carried through to the packaging. Also a six-bar series, we believe. The glyph on the back is the Germania Mint shield.

This range doesn’t seem to be a tightly defined series, and I did consider putting it with the one-offs, but big holiday, religious, and historical events around the world are a fertile breeding ground in modern coins, and I see no reason the cast bars won’t follow suit. The first pair were released for the Diwali festival, which is widely celebrated across the Indian subcontinent. Some very nice artwork as well.

Americana is exactly what it sounds like, a series of bars showcasing some of the more jingoistic imagery of the United States, starting with the Bald Eagle. It looks great, maintaining the high standards this program is known for. It’s a co-production between Germania Mint and US dealer GovMint, but carries the former’s glyph on the back.

A range of seven bars with some very vibrant artwork. Each features a specific colour theme, and a female personification of the specific sin. The box art mirrors each bar’s palette. The glyph on the back is the Asturmint bull.

Asturmint’s second series, featuring some striking playing card designs. At the time of writing, we don’t know how many there will be in this range, but there are plenty to choose from. The glyph on the back is the Asturmint bull.

A series featuring the Mexican Day of the Dead, and some of the iconic imagery associated with it. The first coin is very striking. The glyph on the back is the Asturmint bull. Mintage reduced from 999 to 500

The first bar from Asturmint in 2025, we're currently unsure if this is the first in a new series, or a one-off. It taps into popular dystopian themes, but the addition of the fox is a cool touch. As always, the Asturmint bull glyph is on the back.

Another new series from Asturmint for 2025, The Outer Space has an almost limitless potential for new designs, and on the evidence of this super first issue, it will be fulfilled. As always, the Asturmint bull glyph is on the back.

A series looking at the war of independence fought between the British Crown forces, and the British colonists in North America. It has the Asturmint glyph on the back, Mintage reduced from 500 to 200.

A five bar range featuring a numismatic classic subject, the African Big Five animals. The artwork is particularly impressive, and the info at the bottom well integrated. The glyph on the back is the RKM crown and initials.

Beauty and the Beast is an age-old trope these days, but we rarely see it well done as the beautiful artwork on these bars. These are issued by one of our favourite producers, the South Korean company, Today, producers of some incredible stackable silver bullion. Themed around the lunar calendar, they each depict the lunar animal in the company of a gorgeous woman. There's no glyph on the back, strangely, and mintages vary. The Dragon is 270, the snake 300.

This will be a four bar range, with each of them depicting one of the Four Horsemen. The range ties in quite neatly with their coin range with the same subject. The artwork is different, but certainly inspired by those. The glyph on the back is the Carpathian Mint logo.

The personification of death has been a consistent character in the mythology of many cultures around the world. This five-bar series will carry images of the Grim Reaper, and be released at the rate of one per year. The glyph on the back is the Carpathian Mint logo.

A new release we came across in our virtual travels, Medusa is the first in a trio of bars featuring Greek Mythology. The first one has cleverly combined the character's nature with the lunar Year of the Snake in 2025, by having the serpents in her hair spell out '2025'. Pretty artwork. The glyph is a neat play on the three initials of the company forming a maze - perhaps that of the Minotaur.

Polish dealer, Goldenmark, has partnered with Germania Mint for some unique one-off designs, starting with a beautiful design for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There seems to be a mix of event and history themes, with the notable exception of that very pretty Butterfly design. The mintages of them all are low, often startlingly.

Not all of these bars will be issued as part of a coherent series, and we suspect many will be issued for events. The first of them was from Germania Mint itself, and marked their attendance of the World Money Fair in Berlin. This was followed by a similar design for the Chicago ANA coin show in mid-2024.
