@MDAMDA wow - thanks I think should be a hit. After success of Gods of Olympus, I am not surprised they re-launched another coin using similar technique.
Seeing as the mint mailed me the release day bulletin, I'm assuming that the image is no longer embargoed... [imgz=http://forums.silverstackers.com/uploads/16111_2016-02-01_143305.jpg][/imgz] The mintage is 3,000 and the prices is $199.00. ETA: looks like the Norse Gods - Odin will be released in March.
Love the roo (and lizard) as I mentioned before. Odin looks a bit too cartoonish to me but I like how they have him on his steed.

Check the Perth Mint page, but I think 8 am AWST Feb. 2nd (e.g. this morning). I think the Feb. 3rd date is for a subset of the coins being released but not this one.
The high relief antique finish rimless Roo reminds me very much of the Swiss Wildlife series (from the world renowned Helvetic Mint) which appears to be a very popular series and consequently maybe the reason the PM seems to have borrowed that design concept. The latest from the Swiss Wildlife series is the 2015 Red Deer. Looks like the Perth Mint even copied the basic concept of the Swiss Wildlife series display case: http://www.apmex.com/product/86592/2014-niue-1-oz-silver-swiss-wildlife-high-relief-capricorn 2014 issue: https://firstcoincompany.com/S/niue...in-2014-ultra-high-relief-antique-finish-1-oz First issue of the series in perfect 70 condition! : [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLni7EwVBRA[/youtube] .
@mmissinglink Lets see if your assumption is correct, either tommorow (this) morning or latest at World Money Fair in Berlin this week. But that video is definitely too long.
We don't have to wait....there are clear pictures here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151970031437?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT .
coin can be ordered now from talisman in the USA for $125 plus shipping either on eBay or from their site. Regarding Odin, I am not clear what is being said above. Is Perth also doing a Norse gods series that begins with Odin in march? There are really too many of these series now. I think the one from Choice Mint (Odin) with second one coming very soon is much better than the others. The Odin by Heidi Wastweet is also good, but one has to be selective with so many new coins all the time. Otherwise you will soon have lots of coins and very little money.
I'm interested in it but kind of suspect it will be cheaper in several months to buy it from a flipper.
