Typically, Bullion/Precious Metals are covered in their purified form, from the extracted ore up to the refineries, storage in a bullion bank.  Diamonds and precious stones: large diamonds are rare and incredibly valuable just like bullion and precious metals.  Also, large amounts of cash and valuable goods in armored vehicles which approach banks and other financial institutions.  Works of art including pieces of artistic media, manuscripts, ceramics, historical artifacts, textiles, books and more. Cryptocurrency can also be covered under Specie and is one of the emerging risks being offered by reinsurers.

Cryptocurrencies present a new form of risk, and reinsurers are prepared to provide protection to clients.
