Recently The Perth Mint released their 10kg .999 Fine Silver 2013 Lunar Snake "Coin", I use the term "Coin" loosely & if you take a look at the link you'll see why!
I know when I think of coins, I generally think of either bullion/numismatic coins or the spare change that weighs heavily in my pocket...this coin definitely fits into the first group; It's both bullion (a heck of allot of it too) and as it carries a "Face Value" of $300 it also qualifies as a Numismatic Coin.
So YES, it's a coin by definition but it's certainly not something one could carry around in ones pocket!
With the fantastic new Coin Press Perth Mint recently purchased, the production of coins like this and their smaller counterparts has become both easier and cheaper for The Perth Mint and consequently they're both able to make more stunning coins like this and also charge less for them.
In my honest opinion, The Perth Mint is undoubtedly the finest mint in the world and with their constant innovations they can only get better!
