Asturmint’s contribution to the range of two-ounce cast bars under Germania Mint’s new programme has been more extensive than most. They have a seven bar ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ set, an Independence Day range, and a beautiful Day of the Dead bar, but what we have here are the third, fourth and fifth releases in the Poker Cards series.

We think this is one of the best looking series of all the coloured cast bars in this programme, combining some terrific artwork, and an unusual, but strangely obvious theme. These three bring an end to the four kings in the pack, with the fifth of them being the Joker card. That likely means an end to the range, perhaps, which would be a shame.

They come neatly boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity, and only 500 of each design will be produced. If bars are your thing, check out our packed Bullion Profile to the whole programme. Available soon.
