Chronos 2026 · A trilogy of metals
Three metals. One inscription. One complete sentence — struck across copper, silver, and gold.
Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum.
From copper comes silver. From silver comes gold.
For ten years, Chronos has been our flagship series. The one that started it all. The 2026 release is the most ambitious chapter yet — and the first time the series itself tells a single, complete story across three metals.
The idea
A TRILOGY IN THREE METALS
One sentence. Three coins. A decade in the making.
For ten years, Chronos has been about time — clocks, mechanisms, and the philosophical idea that value endures while everything else flows past.
In 2026, we wanted to do something we had never done before. We wanted the series itself to tell a single, complete sentence — and to encode that sentence in the materials, not just on them.
So we struck the same design across three metals. Copper, silver, and gold. Each piece carries the same Latin inscription: Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum. From copper comes silver. From silver comes gold.
The journey is the object. You can collect one chapter. You can collect all three. However you read it, the sentence is complete.
The Inscription
One Latin phrase. Struck on every variant.
Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum. From copper comes silver. From silver comes gold.
It is an acknowledgement of hierarchy — and an invitation to start at the beginning. For new collectors, it is permission to begin in copper. For those already holding silver, it is the next step. For collectors completing the trilogy, it is the arrival.
The phrase has guided this series from the start. In 2026, it becomes physical — repeated across three metals, three price points, three moments in a single collector’s journey.
Chapter I · Cu
Our first copper release. A new entry point.
The trilogy starts in copper. Pressburg Mint’s first copper release ever — and a deliberate statement about where physical metals are headed.
Most copper rounds are sold by the avoirdupois ounce — the industrial standard, the warehouse standard. We chose troy. That choice was not technical. It was philosophical. Troy ounces belong to the world of precious metals. By striking the Chronos 2026 in one troy ounce, we place copper where we believe it belongs: alongside silver and gold, not in spite of its price, but because of its potential.
Why copper, why now
Silver prices have never been higher. The barrier to holding physical metal has risen with them. Copper changes that equation.
It is the metal that built the modern world — wiring cities, powering grids, conducting electricity across every continent. Demand for it is accelerating, not slowing. Electric vehicles, solar infrastructure, data centres, and defence systems all depend on it. Supply is tightening. Ore grades are declining. The gap between what the world needs and what the ground can provide is widening.
This is not a niche collector’s argument. This is the material reality of the next decade.
We believe copper is the entry point for a new generation of people who want to hold physical assets — at a price that does not require a significant financial decision. Accessible. Tangible. Real.
Chapter II · Ag
Legal tender. Sovereign-issued.
The middle of the sentence.
Silver is the heart of the trilogy. Struck to proof-like finish in 9999 fine silver and issued as legal tender by the Republic of Liberia, the Chronos 2026 silver coin carries the central narrative weight of the series.
The obverse is a clock face — Roman numerals, ornate borders, an exposed mechanical core. The reverse carries the lemniscate, the symbol for infinity. Together, they measure time and transcend it.
Silver is not the beginning of the journey. It is not the end. It is the crossing — the metal that takes the entry-point promise of copper and makes it monetary, sovereign, and timeless.
An amalgamation
Two metals. One coin.
There is a version of the silver coin that does not ask you to choose between silver and gold.
Struck in 9999 fine silver to proof standard, with selective gold plating on the border, the Roman numerals, the clock hands, the lemniscate, and the Liberian coat of arms — this variant is the most literal expression of the trilogy’s central inscription.
From silver comes gold. The phrase, written into the surface itself.
Chapter III · Au
THE ARRIVAL
The map ends here. 9999 fine gold.
Gold is the destination. Struck in 9999 fine gold to proof-like finish, the gold edition is monolithic — every element of the design glowing in the same warm depth. There is no contrast on the gold coin because none is needed. On the gold, the inscription is no longer a promise. It is a statement of arrival.
1/10 troy ounce · 300 pieces worldwide.
The fractional edition allows those beginning the journey in gold to do so at a scale that fits their moment. A first ounce in gold without the full-ounce commitment.
1 troy ounce · 100 pieces worldwide.
The complete piece. The full weight of the trilogy in its highest form. Reserved for collectors who want the final chapter in its definitive expression.
Three reasons the trilogy lands
at the Perfect time.
Barrier to entry
Silver is at historic highs. The barrier to entry for physical metals has risen sharply. Copper opens the door for a new generation of buyers — without compromising on craft, design, or weight.
Increasing demand
Embedded within the design is the alchemical symbol for copper — invisible at first glance, revealed only at the right angle. It serves both as an authentication feature and as a quiet nod to the metal’s ancient identity.
Rare. Limited.
Mintages are limited. Silver is capped at 7,500 pieces. Gold is capped at 100 (1 oz) and 300 (1/10 oz). Once the trilogy is sold, it does not return.
Design Language
THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE TRILOGY
A return to origin.
The Chronos series launched not as a coin, but as a round — a pilot piece that tested a design language that would go on to define a decade of releases. The 2026 trilogy returns to that origin. The visual vocabulary is familiar to those who know the series. For new collectors, it is an introduction to where it all began.
Latent imaging.
Embedded within the designs are the alchemical symbols for copper, silver and gold respectively — invisible at first glance, revealed only at the right angle. It serves both as an authentication feature and as a quiet nod to the metal’s ancient identity.
One design. Three voices.
The same artwork — clock face, Roman numerals, ornate frame, exposed movement, lemniscate — is struck across all three metals. What changes is not the design but the voice the metal gives it. Copper is warm and industrial. Silver is precise and monumental. Gold is hushed and absolute.
Creative Director Statement
Copper is becoming the new silver — not as a replacement, but as the next frontier. The 2026 trilogy is our way of saying: the journey from copper to gold is not a metaphor. It is a real, holdable, collectible path. And it begins in your hand.

Chronos 2026 | 1 oz Silver 9999 | Proof-Like
The Chronos 2026 Silver Coin is the second chapter in a trilogy that begins in copper and ends in gold. Struck in 9999 fine silver to proof-like finish, issued by the Republic of Liberia with a face value of 20 Dollars, and limited to a mintage of 7500 pieces — this is a coin designed to be held, studied, and kept. The obverse is a clock face. The reverse is infinite. Together, they measure time and transcend it. Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum. Where the copper round is a statement about accessibility, the silver coin is a statement about craft. The transition from bullion round to legal tender coin is not merely a step up in material. It is a step into a different category of object entirely: one issued by a sovereign, struck to proof-like standard, limited in number, and designed with a level of detail that rewards

Ex cupro argentum, ex argento aurum. From copper comes silver. From silver comes gold. This coin does not ask you to choose a chapter. It contains all of them. There is a version of the Chronos 2026 Silver Coin that does not ask you to choose between silver and gold. The Gold-Plated Proof edition is the most visually complex piece in the 2026 trilogy — a coin struck in 9999 fine silver to proof standard, with selective gold plating applied to the outer border, the Roman numeral ring, the clock hands, the lemniscate outline, and the Liberian
