Among the new arrivals, the 2025 oval silver 'Panda' coin stands out. This 30-gram, .999 fine silver specimen with a face value of 10 yuan is in high demand, despite its huge mintage.

Another notable specimen is the 2025 Australian 'Wedge-Tailed Eagle'. This is the eleventh coin in this series, featuring King Charles III on the obverse. The 1-ounce coin is made of .9999 fine silver and is one of the most popular series issued by the Perth Mint.
Also in the package was a coin from the British 'Myths and Legends' series – the 2025 'Beowulf and the Dragon'. The coin weighs 1 ounce and is made of .999 fine silver.
It's worth noting that products from the Royal Mint of Great Britain sometimes have quality issues, particularly the appearance of so-called 'milk spots'. However, this specific specimen looks good. This coin has already found its new owner.
The review features the 'Australian Coats of Arms' series. So far, three coins have been released, and their future is unknown. Although Australia has enough states and territories to release a series of ten or more coins, there has been a pause.
The released coins were in demand, as the theme of heraldry and animals is popular among collectors, and the execution was of a high standard. Among the coins shown is the Queensland specimen.
| Round | Description |
| Aztec Calendar | A one-ounce silver round with a detailed depiction of the calendar and a warrior's profile. Prone to tarnishing. |
| Legendary Warriors: Hannibal | The tenth round in the series dedicated to great warriors. |
In addition to official coins, some private issues – rounds – were also received. One of them is dedicated to the Aztec Calendar and is distinguished by its many small symbols. Such .999 fine silver items are prone to developing a patina over time.
Another round belongs to the 'Legendary Warriors' series and depicts Hannibal. This is the tenth release in the series, which is expected to consist of 12 or 15 rounds. The theme has proven to be quite popular.
The package also contained a 2025 'Germania' round with a face value of 5 marks. There is information that this might be the last issue in this series. The Germania Mint has already concluded several popular series, such as 'Allegories', 'Mythical Forest', and 'Valkyries'.
The 2017 Ukrainian 'Archangel Michael' coin, in its original case with a certificate, deserves special attention. Such coins, especially from earlier years, are not found often and are more expensive than standard bullion issues. The 2011 coin was previously considered the rarest, but one of the recent issues had a very low mintage.
Another British coin is the 2025 'Lion and Eagle'. Its special feature is a non-uniform, textured field, rather than the usual mirror-like one.
The review concludes with a coin from the South African 'Big Five' series – the 2022 'Rhinoceros' in a blister pack. There are mixed feelings about this series, as the price of the coins can drop after the initial release. The third release of the series has already begun, featuring the 'Elephant' and the 'Lion'.
