The collector coins market may be included into a broader category: alternative investments. Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in investors’ interest, apart from the art market, in the market of collector coins, in particular the Treasures of Stanisław August (Skarby Stanisława Augusta), issued by the National Bank of Poland. Scientific articles on investing on the Polish market in the numismatic sector are few. Therefore, this article tries to fill some of the research gap. The article presents an analysis of the annual, nominal rates of return on the market of silver coins constituting the Treasures of Stanisław August series and issued until December 31, 2022, and their comparison to the rates of return on the stock market (indices: WIG, mWIG40, S&P 500) and commodities (gold and oil). The study is based on the prices of silver coins from the Allegro website, without grading and with MS70 grading.
