<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 2143001, member: 15488&quot;]What was the world&#039;s first bullion coin? I am not really sure. I have read somewhere that Silver bullion was first introduced in Lydia as early as 600-650 B.C. I think, and I&#039;ll leave this open for debate, that the first modern bullion coin is the 1949 Mexico Onza. It is believed that Mexico started the collectible craze with the 1982 Libertad. Since then it seems everyone has jumped on the boat. China 1983 Pandas, U.S 1986 ASE, Canada 1988 Maple Leaf, Australia 1990 Kookaburra and 1993 Kangaroos, Great Britain 1997 Britannia, Austria 2008 Philharmonic, Russia 2009 St. George, and on and on and on.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems like I have been trying to gather a sample of everything. I found that I have missed a few in my collection The Isle of Man Angel, which I have on order and expect any day. The Australian Kangaroo, how did I miss that. Some of the bullion I have collected as a series, the Koala for example. I have a type set of all the different versions of the Britannias also.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have put together a montage of the different coins I currently have in my collection which fit in the bullion category to illustrate the many varieties available. I really enjoy collecting these, not for the investment, but for the beauty. This is not to say these don&#039;t carry a premium, many do. Hope you enjoy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Koala 2007-2015</p><p>[ATTACH=full]410316[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Britannia 1997-2013 Type </p><p>[ATTACH=full]410317[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Assorted World Bullion Coins</p><p>[ATTACH=full]410318[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
