PRESS RELEASE – April 2026
GR Reserve announces MINT XXI’s striking Spring 2026 collection, featuring eight new releases that span ancient empires, mythological muses, and some of history’s most enigmatic brotherhoods. Headlined by the debut of the Secret Societies series with the Knights Templar, the collection also delivers the grand finale of The Nine Muses, a new chapter in the flagship Celestial Beauty series, and the return of fan-favorite collections including The Way to Valhalla and The Legacy of the Greatest Empires.
Secret Societies – Knights Templar
A New Series Opens the Gate to History’s Most Enigmatic Orders
Release Date: End of April
For centuries, secret societies have shaped the course of history, cloaked in mystery, power, and hidden knowledge. The Knights Templar, one of the most legendary of them all, rose as warrior-monks sworn to protect pilgrims and sacred relics. Their motto encircles the coin: Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam – “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name give glory.”
Struck from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, the coin portrays a Templar knight in commanding high relief, sword raised and ready for battle. Digital printing, together with digital gilding, brings vivid historical life to the scene, from the crimson crosses to the glint of sacred gold. Moreover, the obverse reveals a keyhole shrouded in esoteric symbols, inviting the viewer beyond the veil of the known. MINT XXI limits this inaugural issue to just 500 pieces worldwide.

Celestial Beauty – Pegasus and the Muse
Where Myth and Creative Spirit Take Flight
Release Date: End of April
Born from the blood of Medusa, Pegasus soared to Olympus and became a companion to the Muses, a bridge between mortal imagination and divine inspiration. This new chapter in MINT XXI’s flagship Celestial Beauty collection captures the moment when myth and creative spirit take flight together.
Crafted from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, both figures emerge in breathtaking high relief and motion. The Muse’s flowing form and Pegasus’s powerful wings rise from the surface with sculptural depth, while intricate background details evoke the grandeur of classical artistry. Additionally, the coin’s presentation continues the series’ tradition of museum-quality craftsmanship. MINT XXI limits this release to 500 pieces worldwide.

The Legacy of the Greatest Empires – Persian Empire
From the Nile to the Indus: A Civilization That Shaped the World
Release Date: End of April
From the highlands of Persia rose an empire that would stretch from the Nile to the Indus, the largest the ancient world had ever seen. A beacon of governance, tolerance, and monumental ambition, the Achaemenid Empire reigned from 550 to 330 BC, shaping the course of civilization itself.
This 2 oz silver coin presents a Persian sovereign in commanding high relief, flanked by the legendary Immortals, the empire’s elite guard. The composition weaves together defining symbols of Persian greatness: the Cyrus Cylinder, regarded as the world’s first declaration of human rights, a sacred Zoroastrian fire altar, the winged lion, and the gates of Babylon. Furthermore, digital printing traces the vast reach of Persian dominion across the ancient map, while gilding illuminates the empire’s iconic crest. MINT XXI limits this piece to 500 worldwide.

The Nine Muses – Erato and Polyhymnia
The Final Verse: A Poetic Completion
Release Date: End of April (Final Issue)
The voices of devotion and desire unite in poetic harmony. Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry and hymns, radiates serene grace, her art devoted to the divine. Beside her, Erato, muse of lyric poetry and love, embodies passion and tenderness, her lyre a faithful companion to every verse of the heart.
This 2 oz silver coin renders both muses in expressive high relief, capturing the elegance of their forms and the contrast of their poetic realms. Digital printing recreates the signature ancient mosaic effect that has defined the series, while digital gilding adds luminous accents to the composition. Notably, this final issue brings The Nine Muses collection to its poetic completion, a crowning piece for collectors fortunate enough to unite all the voices from Calliope to Urania. MINT XXI limits this release to 500 pieces worldwide.

The Way to Valhalla – Eric Bloodaxe
A Throne Claimed by the Sword
Release Date: End of April
Son of Harald Fairhair and bearer of one of the most fearsome names in Viking history, Eric Bloodaxe carved his path to power through fire and kinship blood alike. King of Norway and twice ruler of Northumbria, he embodied the raw, uncompromising spirit of the Norse age.
Struck from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, the coin portrays Eric enthroned with his bloodied axe, the very symbol of his ruthless reign. Digital printing brings a visceral edge to the scene, with crimson accents on the blade and the gemstone of his crown cutting through the cold antique silver. Consequently, the result is one of the most dramatic entries in The Way to Valhalla collection. MINT XXI limits this fierce tribute to just 500 pieces worldwide.

A tiny winged figure nestles among the petals, whispering of the hidden magic within every garden. Additionally, vivid digital printing brings the scene to life with soft, painterly color, while a radiant rose agate insert adds a shimmering accent to the composition.
