A NEW BULLION COIN ARRIVES. THE TOKELAU LUNAR GOES MASS-MARKET.

One of the nicest lunar coins at the sensible end of the market has been the Tokelau range of silver coins from Perth coin producers, Treasures of Oz. Despite spawning a couple of other variants, namely Pegasus and a Unicorn, it is to the original design we now return. Starting with the snake last year, the series’ most populous coin has always been an attractive reverse-proof coin similar to the Perth Mints, but in our view, a more attractive one. This was limited to 50,000 pieces.

It seems the coin has proven a bigger hit than anticipated and now Treasures of Oz have decided to expand the range to include a true, standard satin-finish bullion coin. Still relatively limited in the silver bullion world, the mintage of 250,000 is likely to be a quick seller in todays bustling marketplace. They’re being minted by the Sunshine Mint, rather than in Europe like the rest of the range, but the design remains the same. What this will mean to the mintage figures of next years lunar reverse-proof, we don’t know yet, but guess the popularity of this one will be the determining factor.

Available now packed in tubes of 20, we’re sure you’re local dealer can get a single coin for your collection if that’s what you want.
