First I saw this coin at
http://www.skarbiecmennicy.pl/50-fortuna-redux-3d-ag-999.html

but I realized that folks here don't like links to Polish webs :/

so I found another link

isnt it 6oz as in 6 x 1oz

 

You can see the process of manufacturing coins, interesting...

This coin looks very nice. I buy one for my collection.

 

Arrived today. Will post some real pictures this evening. I have to say this "cylinder" looks very impressive, I am more than happy with purchase and think about one more.

The problem is no one has it in stock right now, either Mint of Poland or known to me dealers. Mint of Poland expects new coins around April/May which is very long time

 

Yes, only six ozs, and an expensive 6 ozs at that. I would love to pick up 60 ozs for $660!

 

Excellent post mate. A tumb up.

 

Willing to share the pics pls ?

 

Sorry for the quality, don't have very good camera

 

What a MAMMOTH! I think it's a really unique concept. Thinking about a purchase on it. The video that shows the creation process is fantastic. Quite obvious a lot of hard work into it.

 

I noticed this the other day on euro collections but kind of overlooked it until I saw this thread

bit rich for my measley budget but it does look awesome, the video/photos looks great, thanks for sharing CoinsFromWorld/Acme

 

There's a new 3oz version. It's not as impressive as the 6oz version though. The 3oz version is too small. 6oz one is just gorgeous!
