In today’s numismatic world, the success of a coin issue often hinges on its ennobling and visual impact. Collectors seek pieces that stand out not only for their precious metal content but also for inventive design and advanced ennobling techniques. At Germania Mint, with over a decade of experience in coin ennobling, we offer a full suite of Special Effects to transform any issue into a genuine centerpiece. Among these, Holograms delivers spectacular depth, movement and color – one of our flagship ennobling services developed in-house by our R&D team. Holograms is a cutting-edge foil-based technique that applies a multi-layer holographic film precisely onto the raised elements of a coin’s relief. As light strikes at different angles, the foil shifts through a spectrum of hues, creating a living, three-dimensional effect.

Why choose Holograms?


Among the range of available ennobling techniques, it is Holograms that delivers the most spectacular transformation. The rich spectrum of colors offered makes even the simplest bullion piece into a truly unique numismatic treasure.
This treatment:
– Reveals dynamic depth – every tilt of the coin unveils new, dancing reflections – from soft glimmers to bold flashes.
– Enhances relief – design details appear to lift off the surface, imparting a near-kinetic quality.
– A wealth of colors – a palette of ten shades – from silvery hues and rainbow to classic black, allows you to select the perfect accent for any theme.
– Plays well with others – Holograms integrate seamlessly with Multimetal plating, selective UV and other ennobling.
– By bringing coins “to life,” – Holograms not only commands attention but also significantly elevates a coin’s collectible and market value.

Case Study: Valkyries Valhalla series

When we embarked on the Valkyries project – a tribute to Odin’s legendary daughters – we designed three distinct variants for each warrior:
– 1 oz Silver BU – the classic bullion release
– 1 oz Silver BU Valhalla – ennobling with Multimetal plating + Holograms
– 2 oz Silver BU Ultra High Relief – elevated further with Antique Finish and Colouring.

For the Valhalla edition, we combined striking multimetal accents with bespoke holographic highlights, assigning each Valkyrie a colour that resonates with her season and story:
– Hildegard (winter) – pearl-silver Hologram on a full moon,
– Ostara (spring) – a soft, sky-blue Hologram on her floral wreath,
– Solveig (summer) – a radiant gold-yellow Hologram on the sun motif,
– Arnhild (autumn) – a gold-yellow Hologram on the soaring eagle.

This carefully curated palette brings out each heroine’s mythic essence and lets collectors intuitively sense her elemental domain.

Ten colours, endless inspiration

We currently offer ten holographic foil shades: Turquoise, Silver, Red, Rainbow, Pink, Green, Gold, Dark Blue, Blue, and Black. Whether you’re highlighting runic inscriptions, architectural elements or animal and plant motifs, you can match any of our ten foil shades.

Holograms are just one example of the innovative ennobling techniques that make Germania Mint a leader in numismatic finishing. From galvanic plating and Colouring to Metallic Colours, Antique Finish, UV Effects and Glow-in-the-Dark, our Custom Ennobling catalogue has the right solution for every vision.
