History of Bulmint
Bulmint, founded in 2004, is a private Bulgarian mint, refinery, and industrial processor specialising in precious metals. After 20 years, Bulmint began distributing their first gold and silver coins, featuring the Phoenix bird. The coins are available in 1-ounce and smaller fractional sizes in gold.
New Security Features of Phoenix Coins
The 2025 Phoenix coins feature four different security measures on the coins:
- Non-Uniform Edge Reeding: The reeded edge of the coin features a variation that makes it difficult to recreate.
- Surface Animation: Detectable only with a microscope, the variation in the textured ring’s surface creates a wind-like movement when viewed from different angles.
- Micro-Text: Included is the Latin phrase 'AD VITAM AETERNAM,' which is only readable under 15x magnification. It can be translated into modern English as 'for eternity,' 'forever,' or 'for life,' and is often simplified to 'to life everlasting,' a common Biblical phrase.
- Latent Image: Two overlapping images are revealed depending on the angle at which you rotate the coin. The first image is a 'fiery flame,' representing the burning Phoenix, and the second image is the Bulmint company logo.
Phoenix Mythology
'From it's ashes a young Phoenix is born' or so the mythical tales say. The Phoenix is tied to Greek, Egyptian, and Persian mythology and is thought to symbolise immortality and renewal due to the Phoenix said to regenerate after death.
The legends of the firebird place it's origin thousands of years ago. After living for over 500 years, the bird flies to Heliopolis, Egypt, known as the "City of the Sun". Here, the bird gathers cinnamon twigs and resin to build a nest atop the Temple before setting the nest ablaze. The old worn bird dies engulfed in flames before being reborn once again.
Legacy of Jody Clark
Becoming the youngest designer to produce a coinage portrait of the Queen, Clark had only been working as an engraver at The Royal Mint for two years prior to an opportunity to produce the famed effigy arose. Entering a competition to create the prominent design on a whim, Clark became the first engraver from The Royal Mint selected to create such portraiture in over 100 years.
In 2020, after eight years, Jody chose to leave The Royal Mint to work for a private company. Since then, he has designed many more coins, including his portrait of King Charles III featured on these Phoenix coins, as well as collectible coinage issued in various countries.
Obverse
The obverse features Jody Clark's portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, facing left against a matte backdrop, with the engravers initials 'JC' appearing at the truncation of the neck.
A inscription completes the obverse and reads as follows:
CHARLES III · NIUE · 100 DOLLARS · 2025 ·
Reverse
The reverse of the 2025 Phoenix 0.5 oz gold bullion coin depicts the mythical bird gracefully flying, surrounded by flames, appearing to rise from the ashes and be reborn.
