APMEX is a bullion dealer based in Oklahoma City, United States of America, that sells precious metals and objects of numismatic value such as coins, banknotes and related collectibles. In 2021, APMEX partnered with the New Zealand Mint to produce and distribute a series of .999 fine gold and silver coins themed around Godzilla vs. Kong. This was followed up in 2023 with a series of .999 fine silver coins revolving around Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.
