Keiser Ethical One Ounce Silver 999 Round


Keiser Ethical Silver (KES) present a unique opportunity to purchase fine .999-pure recycled silver one-ounce rounds.


The name "Keiser" refers to Max Keiser, a world-famous TV presenter, radio host, entrepreneur, broadcaster and journalist, and financial commentator. He hosts Keiser Report, a financial program broadcast on RT (Russia Today).

Max Keiser is famous for his promotion of silver as an investment and as a form of protection against the debasement of fiat currencies.

The obverse features a detailed image of a bank vault surrounded by Max Keiser's slogan "GLOBAL INSURRECTION AGAINST BANKER OCCUPATION." The reverse bears the recycling symbol surrounding the globe.

Freedom Girl One Ounce Silver Round - 4th in the Silver Bullet Silver Shield Series



Freedom Girl is the first medallion in the Silver Bullet Silver Shield series done with full creative control given to Heidi Wastweet.


Heidi is known for her images of strong and beautiful women, most notably, Pandora Defiant. Now she has created a new beauty for a new generation.

Men have been know to fight to the death for women, treasure and freedom.


Freedom Girl is a stunning combination of all three. Every aspect of Heidi's design brings out a gorgeous update of the classic Peace Dollar. The original Peace Dollar had her hair tied in a bun with an uncomfortable tiara perched on her head. Freedom Girl's hair is wild and free.

Freedom Girl's parted lips and gaze of almost ecstasy looking forward to the future is so seductive, as Freedom should be. Even her shoulder arching forward brings out more emotion from this modern beauty. She is finished off with modern cues of a hoop earring and a tattoo of the Trivium.

 The Trivium is the foundation for individual freedom from outside manipulation. What better way to make Freedom sexy than Freedom Girl?

As with so many other words in our language, there is a psychological warfare going on to control us, even between the words Freedom and Liberty.

We chose "Freedom" over the Peace Dollar's "Liberty" simply because Liberty is Freedom granted by a power. This is most notable when military men are granted 24 hour liberty to go out on the town.

 Whereas Freedom is the ability of the individual to do whatever they want with their time without coercion. A tyranny can give Liberty, but not Freedom. A man can only assert his Freedom or give it away.

The Peace Dollar is regarded as one of the most beautiful coins in the world.


It was struck by the US mint after World War One commemorating the "War to End All Wars". 34 year old sculptor Anthony de Francisci used his wife Teresa as a model for the coin. This coin is one of the most classically beautiful coins in the US Mint's history. It is now time to create a more modern beauty.

The fourth release in the Silver Bullet Silver Shield Series is the Freedom Girl Medallion.

2013 $1 Silver Proof Coin – Bicentenary of the Holey Dollar and Dump “C” Mintmark

Holey Dollar and Dump

To commemorate 200 years of a nation’s first official currency, the Royal Australian Mint’s 2013 mintmark and privy mark coin program will feature a replica of the Holey Dollar and Dump as the basis of design

The Holey Dollar and Dump were introduced to stamp out the corrupt rum trade and provide the first official currency for the fledgling colony of New South Wales. In 1812, Governor Lachlan Macquarie arranged for a special shipment of 40 000 Spanish dollars to arrive in Australia and set pardoned forger William Henshall to work fashioning the new currency.

Henshall was able to develop his own minting technology with the limited resources of the colony at the time and he marked his work by placing the initial ‘H’ on some of the dies produced. Now rare and valuable, the original coins were in circulation between 1813 and 1829.
