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.

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 [...]
