New Issue: Recently Released Coins from Around the World – May 2026
A selection of recently released coins worldwide from the April World Coin News.
Cameroon
Underneath the surface of this new NumisCollect exclusive coin, emerges a charming creature…a seal! Presented as the first release of the new “Above the Surface” series for Cameroon, the silver 1,000 francs antiqued issue features on the reverse a realistic sculpted relief of a seal emerging from water made by an enameled effect.
Canada
Canada has become the second country to have an astronaut fly by the Moon upon the recent launch of Artemis II. To honor this momentous occasion, the Royal Canadian Mint is celebrating with a 1 oz. 99.99% pure silver coin featuring an astronaut in space against the background of the Moon. This issue even takes collectors to space with a special, selective color feature that is revealed under a black light.
Falkland Islands
In honor of the 125th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s death, Tower Mint has released the first Falkland Islands issue that shows the iconic “Una & the Lion” design by William Wyon. The coin is rare, as purchases are limited to one per buyer, and it is available in silver or gold proof finishes.
Lithuania

The Lithuanian Mint is welcoming spring with the last coin of its “Four Seasons” series. Presented in a colorized silver $2 coin for Niue, the end of winter and the rebirth of warmer weather, florals, and greenery are shown through an embodiment of a “Mother Nature”-like figure.
