Discover the Essence of Collecting at MintedMNL
Established in 2016 in Manila, MintedMNL was founded by Sigrid Clarin Carandang, who has been an enthusiastic collector since she was three years old. Initially drawn to the "shiny" allure of coins, Sigrid's passion for numismatics quickly deepened. Her collection has expanded over the years to include not only coins but also a variety of small items and trinkets, as well as banknotes and medals, all of which she affectionately refers to as her "little treasures.
Sigrid's active participation in the Philippine numismatic community since 2015 paved the way for her to extend her reach globally, securing membership in prestigious international collecting societies by 2016.
Driven by a mission to safeguard these precious pieces of history, Sigrid sought and obtained authorization as an official dealer from NGC/NCC/PMG in 2017, making MintedMNL a sanctuary for preservation. Here, every collector, whether seasoned or novice, can explore and own a part of history, preserved to the highest standards.
At Minted MNL, we are more than just a collection — we are a celebration of heritage and passion. We are a community that shares our love for collecting and makes collectible items accessible for everyone. Join us in preserving important pieces of history for the enjoyment of future generations.
