By |2021-08-19T01:54:31+01:00August 19th, 2021|Categories: Quicklooks, Bullion, Nature, Silver, BH Mayer, Tokelau|

APMEX have launched the second in their exclusive series of one-ounce silver bullion coins featuring stylised depictions of owls. These amazing birds have inspired some quite superb modern numismatics and been a staple of the coin world for thousands of years, going back to at least the Athenian Tetradrachm. This bullion series appears to be the offshoot of a proof coin that debuted in 2020 - the Scops Owl - which employed [...]

CIT continue their delve into our ancient numismatic past with a stunning reimagining of the Athenian Owl Tetradrachm We're all aware of just how important the influence of Athens has been on the development of Western civilisation, but much of the history of this ground-breaking city state is less well known.

Numiscollect take CIT's iconic Ural Owl coin into the third dimension with this stunning new issue Only a small number of producers around the world have the knowledge and expertise to produce true dimensional coins, so they don't constitute a big flood of releases as is the case with some other popular genres.

New Zealands annual $5 silver coin features a native bird, the Laughing Owl Just once a year the New Zealand Post issues a $5 silver commemorative coin and like the Royal Australian Mint's Kangaroo series, they're themed into smaller chunks to give the long-running and open-ended series some kind of structure for collectors.

By |2016-11-30T14:46:01+00:00November 29th, 2016|Categories: Bullion, Nature, Silver, Canada, Royal Canadian Mint|

Third Canadian three-quarter ounce silver Howling Wolf bullion coin out now It was quite surprising when in 2014 the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM) debuted an unusual new bullion coin weight, ¾ of an ounce. Ostensibly it occupies the same equivalent space that the ½oz coin does to the 1oz coin given that in 2013 the RCM launched bullion coins that weighed 1.5 ounces. This is the third [...]

Two more of Coin Invest Trust's flagship series have seen new launches for Berlin. The multi award-winning Mongolian Wildlife Protection series, with their crystal eyes and high relief sees a new bird coin, only the second in the series, and it's a beauty in our view. Birds seem to fit the format and design exceptionally well, the owl coin from much earlier in the series being a highlight also. There are [...]

We had a look at Germania Mint's Golden Eagle bullion coin series a few times in the past, the last time back in July when we had images of a sample one-ounce bullion coin that Germania Mint had kindly sent us.
