LEGENDARY WARRIORS (2023-2026) by T&S Coin and Pinehurst Coins T & S Coin have quickly built up a fine reputation with their range of silver coins over the last couple of years. They're mainly known for their selection of two-ounce, high-relief, antique-finished coins, all designed in-house, and they cover subjects from mythology, history, and literature. They do have a small selection of their own warrior coins, but in conjunction with North Carolina based US dealer, Pinehurst Coins, their biggest endeavour to date is Legendary Warriors. This is a 15-coin series, each of which will feature [...]

DEADLY AND DANGEROUS (2006-) by the Perth Mint While a pretty standard specification for a Perth Mint series of coins, Deadly and Dangerous captured the imagination of collectors everywhere when the first coin debuted back in 2006. The main reason for this was the striking depiction of a Redback Spider gracing it. Australian wildlife has a deserved reputation for having a varied range of species seemingly dedicated to causing us pain, discomfort and death. A mix of venoms and sheer physical brutality marks out this menagerie of mayhem, so clearly a great subject for a series [...]

SILVER NIOBIUM (2003-) by the Austrian Mint A global innovation when launched almost a decade ago, these 25 euro silver niobium coins still combine state-of-the-art numismatic technology and first-rate aesthetic design. First issued in 2003, their silver outer ring and coloured niobium ‘pill’, which is attained by oxidation as opposed to the application of artificial colour, have provided the perfect backdrop for exploring suitably technological themes, from astronomy to aviation, robotics to renewable energy and electric light to television. Although as common as lead and even present in the human body, niobium was only discovered [...]

NATIONAL PARKS OF JAPAN 100TH ANNIVERSARY (2024-2031) by Japan Mint While not the most prolific, or adventurous of the issuers of national coinage, the Japan Mint has always done an exceptional job encapsulating Japanese culture and geography. Indeed, one of the first Coin Series Profiles we ever did was for their excellent '47 Prefectures' series, which ran from 2008-2016. The mint's latest series is very much in the same vein, but in this case, it's a 34-coin celebration of Japan's national park system, which will hit a century in age in 2031, when this [...]

ART GALLERY (2026-) by MINT XXI Art coins are pretty common in the modern numismatic world, either reproducing original works, or creating original interpretations of them. Mint XXI's series is called ‘Art Gallery’, and takes classic works of art, and reproduces them as closely as possible, on rectangular, one-ounce silver coins. The coins, issued in batches of five, are large for their weight at 74 x 51.8 mm, with some in landscape format, and some in portrait. These aren’t flashy numismatics, preferring instead to focus on doing justice to the original works. Key to that [...]

MICRO-GOLD 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 [...]

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, [...]
