Rwanda, Somalia, Surinam<p> <p>Five new African gold and silver bullion coins are now available to buy from Bullion UK, the coins have been issued as legal tender in their respective countries of Rwanda, Somalia and Suriname and are eagerly sought after by collectors and investors. They can be purchased online at <a href="http://www.bullionuk.com/">http://www.BullionUk.com</a>.</p> <p>Three of the coins feature the <a title="Somalia Elephant" href="http://www.bullionuk.com/products/search/?q=Somalia+Elephant">Somalia Elephant</a>; they have been issued in 2013 as part of the African Wildlife series and are available from <a title="Bullion UK" href="http://www.bullionuk.com/">Bullion UK</a> as a 1oz gold coin, a 5oz gold coin and a 1oz silver coin, with face values of 1000, 5000 and 100 Somali Shillings respectively. The Somalia Elephant bullion coins are minted by the Mint of Bavaria in Germany and both the gold and the silver have a purity of 999/1000. The first issue in this series appeared in 2004, with a different image of an elephant, or elephants, featuring on the obverse with each annual release. The reverse of these gold and silver bullion coins features the year of issue, the denomination and the coat of arms of the Republic of Somalia.</p> <p>The 1oz silver <a title="Rwanda African Cheetah" href="http://www.bullionuk.com/products/silver/coins/rwanda/gepard_rwanda_cheetah_1oz_silver_2013.html">Rwanda African Cheetah</a>&nbsp;2013 bullion coin is a highly sought after collector&rsquo;s item. The obverse of the coin depicts the seal of Rwanda, the national symbol which was restyled in 2001 and which is used by the Government. The seal represents the unity of Rwanda and includes the words &lsquo;Unity, Work, Patriotism&rsquo; in the dialect Kinyarwanda. The reverse of this bullion coin, which is the sixth issue in the Rwanda African Wildlife series, features a textured design of the country of Africa with an adult cheetah and her cub. The purity is .999 silver and the face value is 50 Rwanda Francs.</p> <p>The 2013 <a title="Suriname 1oz silver" href="http://www.bullionuk.com/products/silver/coins/suriname/suriname_1oz_silver_2013.html">Suriname 1oz silver</a> bullion coin is the country&rsquo;s official silver bullion coin, with a face value of 10 Surinamese Dollars.

This is the highest total for one-day sales ever. In 2012, 3,197,000 coins were sold on the first day; this is the second-highest total. Just to give you an idea how anomalous this extreme level of sales was, from 2009 to the beginning of the silver coin selling programme in 1986, no monthly total was able to top this recent one-day sales. <br /><br />This one day of sales easily beat out the historical average for per-month sales!<br /><br />The fact that there was the highest one day sale total ever suggests that investors are turning their attention to silver coins, and especially the American Silver Eagle. <br /><br />In addition, there was such high demand for new coins that there was a three-week period where authorized dealers couldn't even buy any coins. There was a temporary shortage. This created a premium on top of the regular price for anybody who owned the coins. The premium was the price over the spot price. With all these factors, the <a href="http://www.bullionuk.com/products/silver/coins/usa/american_eagle_1_dollar_1oz_silver_2013.html">2013 American Silver Eagle</a> bullion coin looks to be the highlight of 2013's silver line-up. </span></p>http://www.bullionuk.com/blog/2013/01/2013_silver_american_eagle_has_biggest_one-day_sale_ever.htmlTue, 22 Jan 2013 20:35:00 +0000The United States Mint has temporarily sold out of 2013 American Eagle Silver Bullion coins<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><em>"The United States Mint has temporarily <strong>sold out of 2013 American Eagle Silver Bullion coins</strong>.
