Platinum is a metal of superior value to gold, used in jewelry and in industrial processes related to the automotive industry that predict a promising future as an investment and yet it is little known, much less the fact that there are coins made of this metal.
This entry complements those that I have already dedicated to the most important gold and silver bullion coins.

There are other interesting currencies such as the Australian Platipus, the Isle of Man or Somalia, but they do not overshadow the previous ones. Platinum is a metal with much future but less frequent in the numismatic stores than gold or silver, therefore, the more known the currency, the fewer problems we will have when converting it into liquid money.
