Commemorative Gold and Silver Coins

Commemorative coins are a mirror and history and art that tell this world's story reflecting the various triumphs and tragedies of our civilizations. Commemorative coins are usually designed for collecting or investing and not circulation. They are designed for recognizing special events in limited mintage and are sold at a premium. The rarity (low volumes) and workmanship are valued just as much as the precious metal content of these coins.

The Olympics take over the world every four years. They have also long been a perfect candidate for countries issuing commemorative coins for. Another recent candidate has been coins based on the Chinese lunar years. With the Year of the Dragon falling in 2000, these coins were especially in high demand and already demand higher premiums.
