The Scottsdale Mint Biblical Series
The Biblical series was originally created through the partnership between APMEX and the Scottsdale Mint. The Scottsdale Mint is a private mint located in Scottsdale, Arizona and is noted for the quality and originality of their unique bullion and commemorative Precious Metals products. Scottsdale Mint has based the Biblical series upon the artistic works of French artist Gustave Doré and his own Biblical series of paintings depicting classic scenes from the Bible. These scenes are further brought to life in 3D high relief detail by Scottsdale Mint's talented sculptors. The Scottsdale Mint has leveraged the Biblical series to showcase their prowess in coin manufacturing as well as to raise money for charitable contributions helping kids in need around the world.
