Canada
The natural beauty and strength of the Canadian wilderness are forever captured in Tom Thomson’s painting The Jack Pine (1916–1917). The Royal Canadian Mint has extended this legacy with a 99.99% silver 2-ounce issue that features the famous tree scene in a mirror-finish relief design. Courtesy Royal Canadian Mint.
Liberia
Remember when giants ruled the Earth with the Germania Mint’s “Megafauna” series for Liberia. Available in a range of metals, the coins show a Eurasian cave lion mid-attack amongst ancient forests and mountains on the obverse. The reverse displays a lion’s skull and paw print, encircled by tracks of prehistoric animals that will be seen on future releases. Courtesy of Germania Mint/Instagram.
France
There is a body in the library! One of the latest coin releases from Monnaie de Paris is from its “L’Art de la Plume” series, which honors literary icons in gold and silver. Depicted are some of Christie’s greatest hits, including Death on the Nile and The Body in the Library, as well as an issue focused solely on the iconic author. Courtesy of the Monnaie de Paris.
Switzerland
The long tradition of Switzerland’s Federal Shooting Festival in Chur is being remembered with the return of another practice: the “Shooting Talers” series. Available in 50-franc silver proof and 500-franc gold proof, the designs show a half-bust of William Tell with an arrow in his right hand on the obverse, and an allegorical female of Switzerland and a horned goat on the reverse.
