Lastly, a tremendous “THANK YOU!!” to Emanuel  with @RoslandGold for working with me on sourcing these superb beauties!!! Rosland Gold presents The British Museum Masterpiece Collection Gold Coins!
These 1/4 oz gold coin - of which only 3000 were minted are available from Rosland Capital. These collector coins are specially minted as a proof by Swiss-based mint, PAMP SA.
The series features highlights from among the countless masterpieces in the Museum’s collection, starting with helmets from ancient Greece and Rome, Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon England.


British Museum Greek Helmet 1/4 oz Gold Coin. The first design shows a beautiful, classical Greek helmet of Corinthian type in bronze, dated to around 460BC. The helmet bears an inscription stating that the Argives, inhabitants of Argos, dedicated it to Zeus as spoil won in battle from the Corinthians.


British Museum Gladiator's Helmet 1/4 oz Gold Coin. The second design in their British Museum coin collection features a bronze gladiator’s helmet, dated to the 1st Century and found in Pompeii, Italy.
This helmet would have been worn by a heavily armed Roman gladiator such as the samnite or murmillo. It is said to have been found in the gladiator’s barracks at Pompeii. It has a grille of linked circles to protect the face, and a broad brim to protect the back and sides of the head. At the front of the helmet is a medallion of Hercules.


And 
British Museum Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo Helmet 1/4 oz Gold Coin. This 1/4 oz coin features the famous Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo helmet, from the early 7th century.
Unearthed at Sutton Hoo, in Suffolk, England, one of the most famous archaeological digs in Britain, this iconic helmet belonged to an Anglo-Saxon ruler. The surfaces of the helmet are decorated with animal interlaceand heroic scenes. An iron crest forms a great snake that arches over the top of the helmet. The crest meets the snout of a flying creature that covers the face of the helmet. The flying creature forms the nose, amustache and eyebrows of a human face.


 
In closing, this photo montage also incorporates a tribute to my father with the background including his fine art piece, a hand cast Bronze rendition of a Medieval Sallet helmet art piece.

 
 
 

And some nice British gold...
The 2020 Gold Double Sovereign BU. First double sovereign in BU with some great added weight to the collection!


And a huge “Thank you!” to @5huggy for this beauty! Adding to my 2017 Gold Sovereign collection, an awesome 2017 Half Sovereign Proof!



There seemed to be a stowaway in the Sovereign package from @5huggy...one of his Minions found his way to my house! Hopefully he doesn’t start multiplying and taking over my residence like has happened with @5huggy!! Thank you!!

Next we will enter some gold pickups. A few adding some weight and a couple which have been sought after and adding some numismatic appeal...
For weight, taking advantage of some New Years deals, also before gold prices went up...
A 2015 Canada 1/4 oz BU Gold $10 Polar Bear and Cub, still in manufacturer's packaging.


The tiniest gold piece in my collection...I think I picked this up to get an order above $100 for free shipping...a 2020 1/50 oz Somalia Gold Elephant Coin (BU).


Next up, starting to get semi-numismatic, the first gold Kook...2020 Australia 1/10 Oz Gold Kookaburra (BU).


And a numismatic piece to add into the Middle East gold coin collection...a AH1374/1955 Egypt Gold 1 Pound (MS-63).




 

Apologies up front...I will have to break up my received coins over several posts, since most everything arrived after I had been away for several weeks...the variety shall not disappoint.
Kicking us off with some silver...the 2015 - 2019 Republic of Congo 1 oz Silver Silverback Gorilla (Prooflike) series. I picked these up as I also gifted a set to an Air Force colleague of mine who goes by the same call sign as these one ouncers!


Next, a recent release 2019 Netherlands 1 oz Silver Ducaton Silver Rider Proof Restrike. Really like this design!

Had to trade my Kennedy’s a little while ago. Last few weeks got a chance to buy a few stacks off people. My all time favourite junk silver 

And the stack is growing thanks to @arshimo2012 6x Chariot Britannias and 5x 2015 Britannias. Well packaged and swift shipping as always. Top man!

Received from @Lr103 a full tube Brits. Thanks! This guy knows how to package, ship, and gives you tracking updates also.
 

Some great buys and trades turned up today.thanks to @sovereignsteve for the 2012 and @richatthecroft for the lib. Nice touch popping in the free peso.and @ilovesilverireallydo for the chain and mule. 
Love this forum !!!😃

One day we will return to the..

41,6 oz silver and 1,24 oz gold.
 

Visited my safety deposit box today and put the recently acquired Gold with the rest of the Gold stack. Don't visit Safety Deposit box that often maybe once a year and took opportunity to take some photos. Gold bullion occupying 25% space in the box the remainder family jewellery. Still enough room in the box to add another 40 oz Gold in Royal Mint tubes to finish off Queens Beasts series.
Gold bullion square red box total 74.25 oz.



 
 

Thanks @InvestInCoins888 picked up this morning from post office....... and WOWWWWW a beautiful set cheers

Nice NZ half crown for the world silver folder
 

Just received White lion this morning (that's me up to date with the 1oz PF 70s) with another couple of 2oz beasts also up to date with these. I will be listing the dragon for sale later on so check the sales thread if you want a mint 2oz MS 69 dragon.

Just ordered these from the Perth Mint. After staying up to potential buy something from the RM and being a little disappointed, got a email about these, and having buyers itch bought the 1oz High Relief and the regular 1oz. Would have loved the 1oz gold, really good value IMO and a low mintage.

Probably not to everyone's cup of tea - a bit like the Brexit coins, but after seeing this thread, i decided to get a couple of my all time favourite silver coins enamelled . Thanks to the help of @Panda6Pack 
The final results are simply stunning, hopefully the piccies do them justice. Proper skills from the artist if i say so myself. A nice addition to my dragon and phoenix bullion set and my aztec calendar rounds set. They are just for my personal stack so the loss/depreciation in value is of no consequence to me. Its another very nice & shiny thing to ogle over!
 
 
 
 

Since the 'Withdrawal from the EU 2020 Strike on the Day Sovereigns' have eluded me completely, here's something I picked up a little earlier ...
2x 2019 1oz Silver Britannia Brexit Colourized Gold Gilded Coins (Mintage of 100 only)

@Jimmock kindly offered me his last 2 spare 2019 & 2020 Oriental Brits for exchange. Top guy - thank you! 
Lovely little things these. 

Well, my Brexit commemorative coin arrived this morning – a 2020 bullion double sovereign.  At a cost of 75% of the SOTD sovereign, and twice the gold content, I am more than happy with it.  I can scratch a Privy mark on to it later!

Arrived this morning.Of no real value,but interesting all the same.to go with my growing collection of 1887 gold gilded sixpences,this time a Gilded Shilling.not too many of them about and it maybe this was popular or even deceiving at the time.
