AGAUSHOOT: 2021 Falcon of the Plantagenets by Pobjoy Mint Released in late 2021, by the now closed British Pobjoy Mint, The Falcon of the Plantagenets was one of the producers takes on the Queen's Beasts series made famous by the Royal Mint's own range. The Pobjoy series had its own unique look which we always felt was greatly underrated, not helped by the basic renders that they used for them, and which we constantly complained about. It was this that prompted me to reach out for a loaner, and the result is below. The coin [...]

AGAUSHOOT: 2026 Megafauna Cave Lion by Germania Mint Released in May 2025, by Germania Mint, Loss is the first annual release in the new ‘Bõdvar Saga’, telling the story of a Germanic warrior whose wife was killed by the Romans, and who had his daughter taken by them.

A special variant of that bullion coin is antiqued and coloured. There are images of all three below, [...]

AGAUSHOOT: Steamboat Willie gold 1kg by New Zealand Mint Released in December 2014, this is basically a statement coin from the New Zealand Mint who had just signed up for the worldwide numismatic Disney licence. Over the next few years, there was a literal tsunami of Disney coins covering just about every character they created, but it's here, with this epic gold proof coin that it kicked off huge levels of interest. Struck in a kilo of gold, the mintage was microscopic, and if I remember correctly, just 18 were eventually produced, We were fortunate [...]

AGAUSHOOT: Impact Moments Meteorite by Germania Mint/Numizzmi Released in November 2021, this collaboration between Germania Mint and Numizzmi remain, for me at least, one of the finest coins ever released with the theme of prehistoric life. It's a two-ounce silver coin which depicts that day in the Yucatan Peninsula some 65 million years ago, that an asteroid crashed into the Earth, ending the reign of the dinosaurs.Cleverly sliced into the coin is a genuine piece of Muonionalista meteorite. The depiction of the Triceratops is utterly sublime, genuinely first class. The obverse shows the aftermath, with that [...]

AGAUSHOOT: Withcraft Herbalist by Germania Mint Released in November 2025, by Germania Mint, Herbalist is the second in the biannual series called Witchcraft, the first of which was the 2023 Seeress issue.

The other pair are an ounce in weight, with a part-gilded 'Ritual' version, and the usual bullion coin. The original news article can be seen HERE. A fine series, we think, and part of this producers impressive Germania World bullion range. [...]

AGAUSHOOT: Spinosaurus, by MCI-Mint Released in April 2015, by German producer, MCI-Mint, this immediately appealed because it was a dinosaur, of course, something regular readers will know we have a lot of love for here. It was a one-ounce antique-finished silver coin, and as you can see, the depiction hasn't aged well given the phenomenal research done on this amazing animal over the last decade. The original news article can be seen HERE. MCI-Mint seems to have given up issuing coins, moving into their TV shopping channel in Germany. The model in the photoshoot is from [...]
