Gifts for Coin Collectors for any Occasion

By: Louis Golino

 

Is there someone you know – perhaps a friend, relative, or someone else – who is a coin collector?

If you are interested in getting gifts for the coin collector in your life, you are in luck because today, the United States Mint and mints worldwide are issuing some of the broadest and most diverse ranges of coins ever! If your collector tends more towards older coins from the U.S. or foreign countries, we have lots of those too!

There is something for every taste and interest that will fit any coin gift budget at GovMint.com.

To help you navigate the wide world of coins and decide what the coin collector in your life might want, we've rounded up some coin gift ideas that fall into several categories. Browse potential coin-related gifts for the history buff, pop culture fan, world traveler, bullion stacker, and U.S. patriot in your life, all at GovMint.com.

Coin Gifts for the History Buff

Many coin collectors have a deep interest in history, no matter which types of coins they collect. Modern mints know this, so they issue interesting coins commemorating all kinds of important historical figures and events every year.

250th Anniversary of Napoleon’s Death Coins

2020 was the 250th anniversary of the passing of one of history’s most important and controversial figures, Napoleon Bonaparte. To honor the occasion, the France Mint, or Monnaie de Paris, has issued a dazzling array of coins for this occasion, including one shaped like his famous bicorne hat, among others.

Other History Related Coin Gifts

Suppose your collector tends more towards U.S. history. In that case, the French Mint also issues some beautiful silver and gold coins that honor the famous Libertas Americana medals issued during the Revolutionary War. That historic medal celebrated the arrival of George Washington and his troops in Boston as British troops realized they were outnumbered. These issues are available through GovMint.com’s Scarce and Unique Coin Division.

The Mayflower landing is another event that avid followers of American history may love to mark in their collections. This fantastic set was issued in 2020 when the United States Mint and The Royal Mint collaborated to mark the 400th anniversary of that seminal event.

Ancient Coins

Or perhaps your collector tends more towards ancient history and would enjoy a coin inspired by the ancient Athenian owl or even an actual ancient coin from Greece, Rome, or other periods? We have a wide range of coins from ancient realms available at various price points that would make great coin gifts as well.

Coin Gifts for the Pop Culture Fan

Another growing segment of the modern world coin area is aimed at fans of pop culture – whether they love Star Wars™, Disney or Marvel™ films or something else. There are many of these coins available, and they tend to be of particular interest to younger collectors.

Chibi Coins

Then, there are the unusual Chibi coins from the New Zealand Mint, many of which have sold out at the Mint! Chibi is a Japanese slang term for a caricature or exaggerated depiction of someone as small, chubby, or having a huge head. There are all kinds of Chibi coins for characters such as the Lord of the Rings™, Harry Potter™, DC Comics, and more!

Coin Gifts for the World Traveler

Maybe you are looking for a coin gift for someone who is a seasoned world traveler.

Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is one of the most famous destinations in that city after only the Eiffel Tower and has played an enormous role in France’s history and religious life. Always a gorgeous subject for coins issued by any nation, the Polish Mint and Germania Mint recently released a magnificent new 2-Ounce Silver Notre Dame High Relief coin with selective color and gilding, that many collectors would love.

Coin Gifts for the Bullion Stacker

If you are thinking about a coin gift for someone who mainly likes to acquire silver bullion coins, you will want to consider the 2021 American Silver Eagles, which saw a change to the reverse side design this year for the first time in the 35 years the series has been issued.

You can purchase separate examples of the 2021 eagles with each design type, known as the Type 1 and Type 2 design, or you could get one of these neat 2-coin graded sets that pair them side by side.

World Bullion Coins

Suppose your collector already has the new Silver Eagles. In that case, he might instead be interested in some of the major world bullion coins like the South African Silver Krugerrand, Chinese Panda, which has a special new design and privy mark noting the 40th anniversary of the series for 2022 or Canadian Maple Leaf.

Coin Gifts for the U.S. Patriot

Finally, perhaps the collector is, above all, an American patriot interested in coins that celebrate our great nation.

United States Mint Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars

An excellent coin gift for someone like that would be the new 2021 Morgan and Peace dollars issued to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the last Morgan dollar issued in 1921 and the first Peace dollar the same year. If they prefer the original silver dollars, we have a wide selection of those too, so make sure to browse our historical Morgan and Peace dollars as well before making a decision.  

These beautiful silver dollars are renditions of the originals made using the Mint’s original legacy assets used to strike the coins of 100 years ago. They look just like the old coins but with pristine surfaces and full strikes. There are five different Morgans, hailing from the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints where they were historically struck, as well as coins with privy marks that are tributes to the old Carson City and New Orleans Mints that no longer exist. The gorgeous 2022 Peace dollar should not be forgotten. You could buy them individually or as a set ungraded or in the top Mint State 70 with First Day of Issue labels.

U.S. Gold Coins

If you can afford to buy gold coins, also make sure to think about United States Mint-issued gold coinage.

 

Consider the new 2021 American Liberty $100 high-relief Proof gold coin that depicts Liberty not as a female but as a bucking Mustang horse designed to symbolize the American colonies breaking free from British rule. Here is a stunning example that comes in the top grade of Proof 70 with an American flag label.
