The second issue in the Perth Mint’s highly acclaimed Great Warrior Series, this unique tribute to the fearsome, formidable Viking has just been released! A spectacular sequel to the Roman Legionary Silver Proof, this eye-catching precious metal Proof is sure to be sought after by coin collector and militaria buff alike.

Paying homage to one of the world’s most notorious, most well known historical combatants, this unique, exclusive coin is distinguished by a stunning portrayal of a Viking – a warrior of the fi erce Scandinavian tribes that thrived from the 8th to the 11th centuries AD. Aboard their famed Longboats, the Norsemen wrought terror upon Europe – from Russia in the east to Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland in the west – until their power waned in the face of more organised opposition to their aggressive policies.

Yet another stunning example of the Perth Mint’s full-colour minting techniques, the crown-sized 40.60mm fl an of this splendid .999 fi ne silver Proof is distinguished by a brilliant, authentic depiction of a typical Viking Warrior. A fi ne presentation, each offi cial legal tender coin is housed within an offi cial Perth Mint case, complete with a numbered Certifi cate of Authenticity attesting to the low worldwide mintage of just 5,000.

Underpinned by incredibly exquisite BU quality, fascinating, detailed designs and superb, offi cial presentation, this stunning precious metal collection forms a vibrant, comprehensive celebration of the Viking Age.

An offi cial issue of the Mint of Finland, struck on behalf of the country of Andorra, the 2008 10 Diners Vikings Gold-plated Silver BU Collection comprises four beautifully designed, offi cial legal tender coins – each measuring 38.80mm in diameter. Struck to the pinnacle of Brilliant Uncirculated quality from 33 grams of sterling silver, and then precisely enhanced with pure gold, each crown-sized coin represents a different feature of the life and times of the Vikings. Exploring the Vikings’ famous seafaring history, as well as their clothing, jewellery, weaponry and religious beliefs, this set provides a fascinating, wide-ranging insight into these feared Scandinavian tribesmen.

Eye-catching and exclusive, each 4-coin legal tender collection is superbly presented within the luxurious confi nes of an offi cial timber case, accompanied by a Certifi cate of Authenticity confi rming the tiny worldwide mintage of just 7,500.

Pictured at actual size

Throughout history, there are some works of art that are instantly synonymous with a particular artist, with the Sunfl owers series by Vincent Willem van Gogh an excellent case-in-point. A truly spellbinding recreation of the vivacity and intensity of van Gogh’s most famous work, the fi rst 2010-dated coin of the hotly pursued Masterpieces of Art Series is set to mirror the sensational sell-out success of its predecessors.

An offi cial legal tender release, struck to the most rigorous standards from three troy ounces of pure .999 silver – a whopping 93.30 grams! – the 2010 $20 van Gogh Sunfl owers Colour Silver Proof is an awe-inspiring coin. The massive 55mm diameter fl an provides the perfect platform to enjoy the most celebrated instalment in the Sunfl ower series – Sunfl owers Version #3. Beautifully framed within 16 genuine

Swarovski crystal components, the reproduction of van Gogh’s masterpiece represents an authentic example of the adventurous use of colour for which the Dutch master is so famous. A unique, exclusive precious metal Proof, each stunning 3oz .999 pure silver coin is beautifully presented in a luxurious leatherette case with a Certifi cate of Authenticity attesting to the limited mintage of 1,889 – representing the year that the fi nal Sunfl owers paintings were created.

With each and every Masterpieces of Art coin sold out at lightning speed, the mintage of this eagerly anticipated release is sure to prove sadly inadequate to meet demand. With very few examples of this superb coin in stock, we must recommend an early order. Do not miss this limited window of opportunity to enjoy one of the most highly sought after series in international numismatics.

Uniting three troy ounces of .999 fi ne silver, 1/4oz of pure .999 gold, glorious full-colour AND 26 genuine crystals from legendary crystal-makers Swarovski, this spellbinding legal tender release is truly a masterpiece of modern minting – and a collector coin of immense quality and beauty.

A spectacular tribute to one of history’s most famous artworks, Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, this brilliantly designed precious metal Proof is the latest in one of the most successful coin programs of recent memory – the Masterpieces of Art Series. A ‘special edition’, this is only the second coin of the series to feature a fully removable 1/4oz .999 fi ne gold insert – set within a majestic 55mm 3oz .999 fi ne silver $20 Proof coin. Bearing the same serial number found on

both the host coin and the offi cial Certifi cate of Authenticity, each fl awlessly struck 1/4oz gold inlay carries a precise recreation of da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man in full-colour, beautifully framed by 26 authentic Swarovski crystals.

A breathtaking work of numismatic art, the only other Masterpieces of Art coin to unite such a plethora of features was issued to honour, appropriately, da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Issued in the same mintage as the new 2010 $20 da Vinci Vitruvian Man 3oz Colour Silver Proof – a mere 999 coins – the tribute to the Mona Lisa was simply devastated by demand, and is now impossible to fi nd. With similar demand for this new coin anticipated, we have been able to secure just a handful of examples – immediate action an absolute must!

A true Masterpiece…

Gold, Silver, Swarovski Crystals, full-colour…And a mintage of just 999!
