The Streetfighter II 30th Anniversary celebration continues at LPM with four coloured silver and gold bullion coins

The ongoing celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Street Fighter II, the greatest fighting game franchise ever, continues at LPM with a new coloured bullion range. We’ve already covered the release of the first two mini character shaped coins, but the new release covered here is a much more traditional affair.

We’ve seen quite a few coloured bullion coins in the videogame realm, with LPM and APMEX enjoying the bulk of the presence here. The latter has already issued Tetris and Sonic the Hedgehog, so it’s clearly something that the market likes. LPM’s Street Fighter II has debuted four coins in this popular one-ounce format.

LPM have chosen four of the most iconic characters from the game to adorn the new coins and each is a simple and clean affair. A proof finish background has upon it a coloured image of the character, along with the game logo, and the company logo. There’s the big bad, M.Bison, along with Vega, Ryu, and fan favourite, Chun-Li. The obverse caarries the national emblem of Fiji, along with the issue inscriptions, thankfully kept away from the reverse face.

Just the two formats, neither with a high mintage. The silver coins come encapsulated and have a mintage of 5,000 pieces. The gold coins have an identical design and weight, but come with a neat Certificate of Authenticity (different for each design), and a tiny mintage of just 50 pieces. All are available to buy now, including some very low numbered certificates at a premium.

M.BISON – A would-be world dictator and megalomaniac, M. Bison’s ultimate ambition is to control the world’s governments through his covert crime syndicate, Shadaloo. He hosts Street Fighter II’s fighting tournament and is the last opponent fought in the game.

RYU – Ryu is the longest running fighting game character with over 34 years from 1987 to 2021. Other games in the series show Ryu to be highly focused on his training, aiming to become the strongest he can.

VEGA – Vega is a mask-wearing, claw-wielding fighter from Spain who uses a personal fighting style combining Japanese ninjutsu and Spanish bullfighting, earning him the nickname of “Spanish Ninja”

CHUN-LI – She is an expert martial artist and Interpol officer who restlessly seeks revenge for the death of her father at the hands of the evil M. Bison, leader of the Shadaloo crime syndicate.
