By the nineteenth century great strides were being made in the field of numismatic research. To satisfy the ever growing demand, specialist books and periodicals were being published. Modern numismatic coins, produced by any of the various mints around the world for collecting or gift giving, are miniature works of fine art that reflect the countries identity. Original works by famous artists are painstakingly reproduced by the Mint's master engravers in the minute detail you see portrayed on each coin. Every coin tells a story of discovery, adventure and natural beauty unique to their country and history, and reflects the pride in our great heritage on this earth.
Many people also collect circulation coins.
Coins are one of the most telling legacies of society, and the study of them one of the most fascinating and exciting hobbies you can pursue. Imagine learning how the politics of the time is reflected in a country's coinage, or finding a rare coin worth many times it's face value in your pocket change .
