2024 2 oz Biblical Series Jonah and the Large Fish Antiqued Silver Coin

2024 2 oz Biblical Series Jonah and the Large Fish Antiqued Silver Coin

With the Scottsdale Mint's renowned Biblical Series approaching its last year of production, the release of Jonah and the Large Fish illuminates a highlight of numismatic storytelling. Crafted from 2 Troy oz of .999 fine silver, this coin employs an impressive 3D high-relief method to modernize Gustave Doré’s wood engravings from the 19th century. Limited to just 1,499 coins, this antiqued creation is essential for collectors aiming to finish the 60-coin journey that started in 2015

Product Highlights

• The Last Chapter: A significant launch in the tenth and concluding year of the acclaimed Biblical Series.
• Skillful High Relief: Remarkable depth that gives the impression of the "large fish" and Jonah rising from the silver.
• Distinctive Vintage Finish: Manually applied antique polish provides every coin with the appearance and texture of a historical artifact.
• Extremely Low Mintage: Just 1,499 serialized coins are available globally, guaranteeing lasting rarity.
• Genuine Presentation: Every coin features a laser-engraved serial number on the edge and comes in a "Book of the Bible" styled display box along with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA).

The Design: A Moment of Divine Surrender

Reverse: The Great Fish of Nineveh

The reverse motif is an accurate, high-relief replica of Gustave Doré’s iconic illustration. It illustrates the intense moment Jonah is discharged from the belly of the massive fish onto the beaches of Nineveh. The intricacy of the tumultuous Caribbean-like waves and the texture of the marine creature offer a sensory experience seldom encountered in bullion.

Obverse: Sovereign Authority

The obverse showcases the official likeness of King Charles III, signifying an important shift in the series from the earlier Queen Elizabeth II obverses. It encompasses the face value of $2 (NZD), the year 2024, along with the metal's weight and purity.

Why the Biblical Series is a Top-Tier Investment

• While standard 1 oz silver rounds track the spot price, the 2 oz Biblical Series carries a significant collector premium for three reasons:
• Serialized Rarity: Unlike most coins, these feature a laser-etched serial number on the edge (1–1499). Lower numbers are highly coveted by collectors.
• The "Doré" Connection: By using the works of Gustave Doré, Scottsdale Mint has created a "fine art" asset class within the precious metals market.
• Completion Value: As the series concludes in 2024, demand for the final year releases is expected to spike as collectors rush to finish their 60-coin sets.
