Our Process
Shire Post Mint coins are struck one at a time in West Fork, Arkansas, USA using solid metals, hand-engraved designs, antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. For antiqued coins, the coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science so coins will vary slightly. Our unique packaging includes a description of each coin and translations if applicable.
We collaborate with many artists to create our coins. Learn more about our artists.
I am especially thrilled with the copper Mars coin. The color is perfect. I feel closer to Mars now that I can inspect and feel it's features on this coin.
Unique, one of a kind Mars medal. Must have for any coin or space enthusiast.
Such a nice weight to this…going to be a part time pocket art/worry stone…
At least that is what I feel when I’m looking at the Mars Coin. It just looks like metal splatters are all that make up the surface of the coin. I know there is more, it’s just that looking at and holding the coin does not do anything for me - unlike all the other coins I have gotten from Shire Post.
I knew nothing about shire post or their products before this purchase. I just happen to stumble across the mars coin and bought it to commemorate a favorite series of mine. It came in a cute envelope ( bonus points for the wax seal ) and is quite hefty. It looks rather high quality and I’m planing on buying several more coin sets.
