The Christmas Tree and Train Silver Coin

Innovative design is nothing new to The Royal Canadian Mint, and that was proven in this spectacular Christmas Tree and Train Coin.

Before I say anything else, you should know that this coin proved so popular that it’s already SOLD OUT – both here at Collector’s Gallery and at the Mint!

This coin truly is a piece of excellence and pushes the limits on what can be achieved through minting. 

State of the art innovative gyroscopic technology allows the coin to actually move (see for yourself in the video above!) and a sophisticated design magnificently merges everything we love in a coin; engraving, casting, silver and gold.

The innovative Coca-Cola bottle-top shaped coins and Vending Machine!

As one of the most recognisable logos of all time and with over 1.9 billion drinks consumed per day, the Coca-Cola Company has once again been honoured in coin form.

But, this time Diet Coke, Fanta and Sprite have accompanied it – all inside this vintage style vending machine presentation!

Specially moulded using Smartminting© Technology to replicate the crimps and curves of bottle caps, this is a finish that has only been attempted a few times due to its difficulty in minting!

Do you think this impressive piece of minting should be the 2019 winner…?

Golden Treasures of Ancient Egypt 2oz Silver

Ancient Egyptians revered gold and considered it to be ‘the skin of deities’. It embellished Royalty, was used on the most renowned monuments and famously decorated the death mask of Tutankhamun.

And it’s safe to say that the minting techniques used in this coin really does glorify this decorated culture. At the middle of a PURE Silver base sits a domed insert featuring particles of 24 carat gold suspended in purified mineral oil!

This is a spectacle to be admired and something that has contributed to the coins SELL-OUT success worldwide!

The ULTRA high-relief 1st King of Man 3oz Antique Silver Coin

Manannán, the first king and defender of the Isle of Man, was a revered figure in Isle folklore and cultural identity. And this breathtaking ornamental design has been dedicated to him using some of the most intricate details Collector’s Gallery has ever seen!

Thanks to Smartminting technology and processes that can only be achieved by a small number of mints across the world, it’s impossible to see this coin as anything other than a three-dimensional piece of art.

Even now, you would expect a piece like this to be cast, not struck. But using the most advanced modern minting techniques, this coin has actually been minted. To strike a coin like this is nothing short of revolutionary.

With a worldwide edition limit of JUST 999 – this coin completely SOLD OUT at the Mint!
