A stackable geometric deer, and dogtags adorned with a tank, are the latest esoteric releases from South Korean producer, Coin’s Today
Coins Today are back with another new pair of silver items, and as you’d expect from this South Korean producer, they’re both a long way from being standard rounds. One is a novelty item, with a military leaning, while the other is the latest in their comprehensive line-up of stackable silver bullion.
First out of the gate is Dog-tags, a one-ounce silver piece inspired by military identity tags, complete with a 12 cm sterling silver (0.925) chain. This depicts a tank on one side, packed with details, like reactive armour. There’s a smattering of background terrain, but essentially, the tank fills the space inside the raised rim. The antique finishing works well here.
The back face has a raised inscription, which sits over a pair of vehicle tracks. The hole through the piece is used to hold the chain, which you can see in the photograph lower down. A neat piece, it should have appeal to the military collectible market for sure, especially as the mintage is capped at just 1,500 pieces, which is low for this producer.
The second release is one of CT’s stackable bullion pieces, and part of their ‘Geometric’ series. This one depicts a strikingly shaped, angular frame, surrounding a forest scene. Looking through, is a very majestic stag, with its antlers extending well past that frame. It’s a superb rendition, and the decorative rings around the base of the antlers is a nice touch.
This one is two ounces of fine silver, and with a 10,000 mintage, so obviously geared more towards the stackers. It comes encapsulated only, and is a terrific addition to what we think is the most innovative and varied bullion range on the market today. It constantly amazes how they get that incuse strike on the obverse to enable the stackability. This, and the tags, should be available to order shortly.
