Volcanion Coins

Volcanion has been featured on four different coins in the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG). While the image of Volcanion on the front of the coin has remained the same, the colors and patterns differ.

This large-sized plastic coin, measuring about 1.35 inches in diameter, was first released on August 3, 2016 as part of the Gears of Fire Theme Deck of the Steam Siege Expansion Set. This coin is descibed as having a black back and red rainbow holofoil front. I currently have nine (9) of these coins in my collection.



This coin was released within later shipments of the Gears of Fire Theme Deck, starting October 5, 2016. It is the same as the first but the front is described as having a red cracked ice holofoil. The "cracked ice" effect is a shiny, glass-like crack pattern that reflects light differently from other holofoils. I only have one (1) of these coins in my collection.



This coin was also released in later shipments of the Gears of Fire Theme Deck. It is the same as the other two but the front is described as having a red pixel holofoil featuring a square texture. I only have one (1) of these coins in my collection.



The next Volcanion coin was not seen until July 3, 2020 with the release of Wave 5 Poke Ball Tins. This too is the same as the other three, except the front has an orange rainbow holofoil. This coin may have been available in subsequent tins and blister packs throughout 2021. I have six (6) of these coins in my collection.



My collection also features three custom painted coins.



These are two gold-plated die-cast coins from the Pocket Monsters Coin 2 Collection that were released in August 2016 by Tokara Tomy A.R.T.S. This collection had 20 different coins and the two I have are the ones that featured Volcanion. These coins are 37 mm in diameter. Ten of them were gold-plated and the other ten were silver-plated.

 





The next photo is an example of how these coins would have been originally packaged and marketed.



I also have a two-inch diameter metal coin (or medal) comprised of zinc-alloy with gold-colored finish. Volcanion is featured on one side, and Magearna on the other. This commemorative coin was available for purchase in theaters during the release of the Volcanion movie in July 2016 in Japan.
