MICRO-SILVER COINS (2025-) by Silver Pours At the time of writing (Q1/2026), precious metals have just come off the greatest rise in the spot price in modern history. Gold shot through $5,000 USD per ounce, and dragged other precious metals up with it, all reaching new heights. For the collector of modern numismatics, that isn't all good news, and the price of coins has skyrocketed as a result. For most, the half-ounce and above gold coin is now unobtainable, and the kilo silver coin is now at a price that excludes all but the very [...]

MICRO-PLATINUM COINS (2025-) by Silver Pours At the time of writing (Q1/2026), precious metals have just come off the greatest rise in the spot price in modern history.

PREHISTORICAL WORLD (2022-2024) by the Czech Mint One of the Czech Mint's many multi-year sets, much like the Armoured Vehicles series, that's had its own Coin Series Profile for a while. In this case, there are no gold variants, with a solitary one-ounce coloured silver coin the only option. Like Armoured Vehicles, there are 12 issues in the series, released four-per-year from 2022 to 2024. At the time of writing, just one design remains to be revealed, and two more have just gone on sale. The coins are the work of mint artist Petr [...]

EVOLUTION OF LIFE (2015) by CIT Coin Invest Back in 2007, the Liechtenstein-based coin producer Coin Invest Trust, issued a hit coin for the National Bank of Mongolia. The debut coin in a new series called Wildlife Protection, it went on to win the prestigious Coin of the Year award in 2010. That series went from strength to strength and every issue has been widely applauded for its quality and most importantly, its design. Sadly now ended, although Numiscollect are reimagining them in conjunction with CIT as fully dimensional coins, we were fortunate to [...]

ARCHAEOLOGY & SYMBOLISM (2018-) by Numiscollect Numiscollect have proven themselves not only able to choose a good subject for their collectible coin issues, but also an ability to conceptualise them and bring a quality article to market. We don't need to tell you how popular the ancient world is with coin producers, but that doesn't mean that everything has to be a variation on the same theme. Archaeology and Symbolism is a fresh look at some of the core beliefs and iconography of some of the world's great historical empires and religions. The format chosen [...]

FINE ART BI/TRI-METAL MAX (2021-) by Precious Metal Collectors It was back in 2020 that Precious Metal Collectors, along with designers Spectres, debuted their Bi-Metal Max technique. While we usually just roll our eyes when we hear buzz-words like this, in this case, it really makes a difference. The problem with big silver coins - those of kilo-plus weight - is cost, with the typical one-kilo numismatic often emptying the wallet to the tune of 2,500 Euro, or more. This leads to producers not wanting to take on the risk of making such coins, [...]

TWELVE APOSTLES (2025) by Mint of MK After Mint of MK’s extraordinary 36-coin dragon series of high-relief coins, that comprised nine designs, each in four finishes, and the 12-coin 'Twelve Zodiac Signs' with its innovative dual-UV process, we expected a new epic series from this experimental producer. That series is 'Twelve Apostles', which like its forebears, has had a relatively quick release schedule, and an unusual and varied style. As you can tell from the title, this is about the famous 12 biblical men who are said to have followed Jesus, all but one [...]

LUNAR YEAR COLLECTION (2019) by CIT Coin Invest The Lunar market seems to have cooled somewhat over the last couple of years, a good thing given the ridiculous numbers issued annually just half a decade ago, Fortunately, the mints have taken the opportunity to heart, with a noticeable increase in quality. The Perth Mints iconic Lunar Series reached its third go around last year and introduced a vastly better look, as did the Royal Mint. In our view, the best new introduction of the last few years has been CIT's superb fully dimensional coins, [...]

2015-2024 BIBLICAL STORIES by Scottsdale Mint Launched in December 2014, Biblical Series is produced by Scottsdale Mint, an American bullion company widely liked for its unusual bullion products like the Stacker and Tombstone series. Their first large venture into numismatic coins, the Biblical Series, is also one of the most ambitious in modern precious metal commemoratives. Designed to be released in sets of six annual coins, there will eventually be sixty in total, spread over a decade. While some series do reach these numbers, they're not generally mapped out in advance. Following the current [...]
