Self-produced metals

With 150 years of experience as one of the Nordic region’s leading players in precious metals, we now combine tradition and innovation in a new and proud venture.
In close collaboration with the Norwegian Mint, we have started the development of a series of unique investment coins that not only represent values in gold and silver but also carry with them Norwegian cultural heritage and history. An equally perfect collector’s item as an investment.
