Welcome to the CIT Summer Launch 2025.
Would you be able to list all seven deadly sins? Which country is celebrating 60 years of independence this year? Why wasn't mortar used to build a house in Machu Picchu? And where would you travel to if you had a time machine?
Our Summer Launch provides the answers to these questions. And much more besides. In addition to fascinating new editions of successful series, we also present exciting new concepts that show that almost any theme can be impressively realised on a coin.
Topography – Yellowstone
The Topography series continues with Yellowstone National Park, the world’s oldest, founded in 1872 in the USA. Covering 9,000 km², it is famed for geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, and wildlife such as bison, wolves, and grizzlies. Sitting atop a supervolcano, its geothermal wonders shape the landscape. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it draws millions of visitors yearly. Using smartminting® in Ultra Deep Relief, the coin vividly captures Yellowstone’s rugged geology and brings Yellowstone Lake to life in stunning colour.
Evergreen – Clover
The Evergreen Clover coin symbolises happiness and prosperity, featuring a fully gold-plated surface, deep green enamel, and a sparkling green crystal. It combines modern minting technology and artistic design, making it a unique piece for collectors. The reverse showcases a textured pattern with a 3D effect, giving a sense of movement. Eight innovative patterns and a special grooved edge enhance its contemporary appeal. Limited to 888 pieces worldwide, it serves as a personal lucky charm or an exclusive gift for collectors.
Spectrum – Peacock
Whether as a child or as an adult. Looking at a peacock is always a very special moment. Especially when it unfurls its colourful plumage. This is exactly what this coin captures in an artistic way. The central design element is the visually stunning pattern of eye-like spots staring back at you. A special effect is also created by the combination of ultra-high relief and a newly developed colourisation technique: a proof finish that has never been seen before in this form.
Repubblica Italiana
Think of Italy—pasta, art, beaches, and its iconic boot shape. This 2oz silver coin uses smartminting® in ultra-high and ultra-deep relief to capture the Alps, hills, coasts, and Mediterranean waves in stunning 3D detail. Glossy, matte, and coloured elements—golden shorelines, soft blue waters, and the national coat of arms—bring the design vividly to life. Limited to just 750 pieces worldwide, it’s a true collector’s tribute to Italy’s geography and culture.
Enemies in History – Caesar vs. Brutus
The Enemies in History: Caesar vs. Brutus coin marks the Ides of March, symbolising Caesar’s assassination and the clash between loyalty and principle. Brutus appears in a Roman toga, embodying both heroism and betrayal, with 23 notches for Caesar’s wounds and a central dagger for violence and separation. The reverse shows Caesar on horseback in armour, reflecting his proud yet tragic fate. This 2oz silver coin uses smartminting® technology to capture a powerful story of power and treachery.
