2024 Chicago ANA Edition 2oz .9999 Silver Cast Bar

Specially designed for the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money, Germania Mint has created a new edition of their excellent Silver Cast Bars. Two unique designs that allude to Chicago, the host of the fair, are not enough…. For the first time, Germania Mint is presenting a shape that expresses more than a thousand words.

Chicago is an enticing city located in Illinois along the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan, often referred to as the “Windy City” – the nickname reflects both the lakeside breeze and the historic political climate. As a cultural, financial and commercial center, it has iconic skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center. The city is known for its architectural heritage and world-class museums, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as a vibrant music scene, especially jazz and blues. Sports are central to Chicago’s identity, with teams such as the Bulls and Cubs. Diverse business districts, picturesque waterfronts and vibrant ethnic neighbourhoods make Chicago an attractive place to visit.

Produced from 2oz of 99.99% pure silver by Germania Mint, the 2024 Chicago ANA Edition 2oz .9999 silver cast bar has a worldwide mintage of 999.

ABOUT GERMANIA MINT

Germania Mint is a private mint known for producing high-quality collectible coins, rounds, and bars with unique designs. The mint is located in Poland, and although it's named "Germania Mint," it is not actually a state mint of Germany. The name is derived from the historical and mythological concept of Germania, a term used by the Romans to describe the geographical region that is now Germany.

Germania Mint was established in 2018, and it quickly gained recognition in the numismatic community for its attention to detail and innovative designs. One of the key features of the mint is its focus on quality and craftsmanship, often using high-quality metals and special minting techniques to create products that appeal to collectors and investors alike.

Their products often feature symbolic and historical themes, often rooted in European history and mythology. For example, some of their series include representations of allegorical figures, historical events, and mythical stories. These themes, combined with the high quality of their products, have helped Germania Mint build a strong reputation in the numismatic world.

It's important to note that while Germania Mint draws on historical and cultural themes from the region of Germany and broader Europe, it operates independently of any state minting institution and is considered a private entity in the coin-collecting market.

Swan Bullion Company is proud to be an authorised distributor for both Germania Mint's bullion and numismatic products.
