Once again, CIT is taking you on a journey through space and time with our spring launch. With these designs, we look back at numismatic history, enjoy extraordinary places in the present, and keep our eyes toward the future. We hope you have fun discovering our 14 exciting new releases, a handful of which we’ve spotlighted below. 

Golden Landscapes—Scottish Highlands

The Highlands in the north and west of Scotland impress with their wild, untouched nature. High mountains, deep lakes, and wide valleys characterize the landscape, crisscrossed by rushing rivers. 

This coin depicts the Highlands in a very special way. It impresses with its ultra-high-relief and an artistic combination of antique finish, coloring, and partial gold plating. Even a hidden fox will be found in these Scottish Highlands.

Timeless Icons—Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty in New York is one of the most famous landmarks in the United States. It was inaugurated in 1886 as a gift from France.

The coin’s design highlights this iconic monument using smartminting® technology, making the statue appear elevated. A combination of matte and polished surfaces, along with elements extending into the coin’s edge, creates a striking visual effect. The inscription “E pluribus unum” symbolizes the unity of the original 13 colonies.

The Manhattan skyline with fine guilloché lines forms the background, while enamel detailing sets the Statue of Liberty apart as the central eye-catcher.

World Landmarks—Mt. Rushmore

Mount Rushmore in South Dakota is a famous monument in the Black Hills, conceived by historian Doane Robinson.

It features the faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln; each representing key moments in American history. The monument was completed between 1927 and 1941 by over 400 workers.

The half-ounce coin reinterprets this landmark in a modern way, depicting it as a watercolor painting with a gradient effect that suggests a freshly finished artwork.

Woodland Spirits—Snow Leopard

This ninth edition marks the finale of one of CIT’s most popular series. The Woodland Spirit coins captivate collectors with their charming yet realistic animal designs, combining detailed relief and coloring.

The final edition features an adorable snow leopard. It inhabits mountains at altitudes of up to 5,500 meters. Its ability to adapt perfectly to the harsh conditions of the Asian mountain landscape makes it a prime example of survival and adaptability. Snow leopards are extremely shy. They are known to largely avoid humans, and sightings in the wild are extremely rare.
