TERRACOTTA WARRIORS

Page 3: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

The Terracotta Army is regarded as one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century! Discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well, this enormous group of 8000 sculptures amazed the world. The excavation un-covered soldiers, horses, and carriages. This incredible army was constructed to accompany the tomb of China’s First Emperor – Qin Shihuang (259-210 BC) as an afterlife guard.

The most impressive feature are rows and rows of thousands of individually detailed soldiers. These sol-diers were given unique features that are said to represent some of the actual soldiers of the day. The soldiers were molded in parts, fired in a kiln like pottery, and then assembled and painted. The army laid underground for more than 2000 years until its discovery and is now considered one of the greatest ar-chaeological sites in the world. The find was praised as the Eighth Wonder of the World and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

The possibilities of the enhanced smartminting© enables us to utilize our ultra-high relief technology to bring these soldiers back to life! These stunning proofs show three impressive soldiers on the reverse. Each soldier displays a unique characteristic and the layering of high relief gives them the depth you would experience if you were standing right next to them! The obverse design shows a carriage that serves as one of the vehicles used for the inspection tour of the emperor in his afterlife.

MAGICAL LAMP1001 NIGHTS

Page 7: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

This mystical coin captures the spirit of the collection of fairy tales called 1001 nights. Almost everyone is aware of one of the most famous stories that is called Aladdin’s Wonderful Lamp. That story is about finding a magical lamp that would grant you all your wishes! Of course, the very famous animated movie featuring Aladdin and his lamp helped bring the story to more modern audiences.

This special 1 oz silver Proof shows the magic of the lamp as it has never been seen before on a coin! The lamp can be seen laying in the sand with the dunes in the background against a canvas of a starry night sky. Notice the detail of the three desert travelers to the left of the lamp. The Black Proof finish creates an ancient but also modern look which is an impressive contrast to the gilded lamp. The sophisticated colorization of the mystical smoke coming out of the lamp adds a unique touch to this piece.

This eye-catching proof will have you wishing to own one of these coins! With a limited strike of only 1001, you will have to do more than just rub a lamp to make your wish come true! This special issue will also be available in a half gram gold Proof that is struck in the unique shape of the lamp! Together with the 1 oz silver or as a stand-alone, it’s a perfect way to fulfill your wishes!

REAL HEROESFIGHTER PILOT – PLATIN EDITION

Previous coin

Page 9: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

During these chaotic times, everybody wishes for a hero. It might explain why when we released the first in a series called «Real Heroes», the Fighter Pilot, it sold out in record time. The combination of ultra-high relief, stunning details and unique finishes made this product a huge success. Such a special topic deserves some limited, exclusive editions. In addition to the sold-out silver issue, CIT is proud to release the Fighter Pilot in three stunning, elite versions. Featured is a 1 oz Gold, 1oz Platinum, and a large 5 oz Gold edition that is done in Black Proof. The 1 oz Gold and Platinum are limited to 199 for the gold and Platinum. The 5 oz Gold is limited to only 29. The 1 oz Gold and Platinum show the same high relief design as the original Silver, but this time, the visor is shown in a stunning mirrored proof surface. This effect will remind you on the aviator style sunglasses that these pilots typically wear.

The 5 oz Gold is done in Black Proof with the visor left in the original gold finish to allow for a stunning contrast to the Black Proof surface. The two pilots walking on the obverse are also left in the original gold finish.

FABERGE – ROSE TRELLIS EGG

Page 13: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

CIT is very proud to release the second edition of a coin honoring a very famous work of art! Fabergé Eggs are known as priceless treasures that were specifically made for Royalty and some of the wealthiest families in the world.

CIT has utilized its world leading colorization techniques and combined them with its smartminting© high relief to produce a coin worthy of this cultural icon. The proof is partially gilded and colored to capture the beauty of the egg.

Delicate floral ornaments in light relief are depicted in the background. This proof is limited to only 888 pieces worldwide and will be presented in a custom presentation case that is in a shape of an egg.

The coin is dedicated to the famous Rose Trellis Egg which was created in Saint Petersburg under the supervision of PeterCarl Fabergé. Much of the work was done by his workmaster Henrik Wigström in 1907.

The Rose Trellis Egg was a gift from Tsar Nicholas II to his wife, Alexandra Fedorovna commemorating the birth of their son. Each of Fabergé’s Imperial eggs contained a sur-prise, to delight the tsarevich.

This particular egg hid a dia-mond necklace and an ivory miniature portrait of Alexandra Fedorovna framed in diamonds – unfortunately, these items arenow lost to history.

This egg is enameled in trans-lucent pale green and latticed with rose-cut diamonds and decorated with opaque light and dark pink enamel roses and emerald green leaves. A portrait diamond is set at either end of this egg. The egg is approx-imately 7.7×5.9 cm in size.

Since 1952 it has resided in the Walters Art Museum in Balti-more, Maryland.

MAJESTIC EAGLEBLACK PROOF EDITION

Page 15: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

At the World Money Fair in Berlin earlier this year, we released the Majestic Eagle to showcase our new-est smartminting© technology. It was an instant success and was featured in many numismatic publica-tions and sold out almost instantly. Numismatic experts and collectors alike were stunned by its beauty and technical specifications. Following up on that success, CIT is proud to release a Black Proof version of this incredible design. This stunning 2 oz silver Black Proof features the same design that was released in Berlin, but done with a different finish that has become a very popular way to collect coins. What’s incredible about the finish is that it allows every single detail to still be seen in brilliant clarity. Everything from the individual feath-ers to the eagle’s glare staring at you in the background and the way the claw rips through the surface of the coin, it’s all there! With a small mintage of only 999, we fully expect this eagle to fly away as quickly as the other ones did!

HUNTERS BY NIGHTBLACK PANTHER – 1 KILO EDITION

Page 17: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

Just this August, CIT released the two-ounces version of the Black Panther featuring our brand-new Obsidian Black finish. The combination of smartminting© high relief and super black finish along with the extremely realistic eyes made the two ounces an instant success. Due to the intense demand and requests for other specifications, CIT is pleased to launch a bigger and bolder version of the Black Panther in a stunning 1 kg edition! The larger size of 100 mm really allows every detail to stand out. You will easily be able to count every whisker on the Panther’s face and his eyes will be stunning against the super black color of his coat. Even the starry night sky on the obverse looks incredible with the mountains in front of it. The only downside is that the mintage is smaller than the two ounces and is set at only 99 pieces. Run like the Panther was chasing you and secure these before they are gone!

KARAKORUM800TH ANNIVERSARY

Page 19: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

This stunning coin is dedicated to the famous city of Karakorum which was the capital of the Mongol Empire between 1235 and 1260. The site of Karakorum may have been first settled about 750. In 1220 Genghis Khan, the great Mongol conqueror, established his headquarters there and used it as a base for his invasion of China. The year 1220 is generally accepted as the year the foundations of the city were built, hence the 800th anniversary.

CIT uses the enhanced smartminting© technology to bring history onto a modern coin. The level of details on this 2 oz piece is amazing and captures the architecture of this magnificent city. The bold colored tif-fany glass in the center of the coin is a real eye catcher and it is a wonderful contrast to the coin’s antique finish. This piece only has a mintage of 800.

An appropriate way to celebrate the 800th anniversary of an extraordinary place that was so important to the history of the entire Asian continent!

LOOP THE LOOP

Page 21: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

No virtual reality can imitate the actual thrill to ride a real roller coaster, especially a looping one. This adventure and test of courage is perfectly captured on this coin called «Loop the Loop», named after a dual-tracked steel roller coaster that operated on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York, from 1901 to 1910. The coaster was one of the first looping roller coasters in North America. It was considered revolutionary at the time since it reduced whiplash. Despite the safer shape, people still freaked out by Loop the Loop because it was still pretty primitive. These were the days before the under-track safety mechanisms had been invented to prevent the pas-senger cars from flying off the tracks. The passenger cars on Loop the Loop had actual tires and the only thing holding them on the track was a small side railing. CIT’s enhanced smartminting© technology with ultra high relief on both sides enables to picture the loo-ping in a very realistic way. Obverse and reverse show the same scenery just from another view.

FOUR LEAF CLOVER 2021

Page 23: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

A CIT classic, the Ounce of Luck has been issued annually since 2010. The proven design has changed little over the years and so it is noteworthy that the 2021 edition features a slightly reworked design that stays true to the series’ history while offering a delicate and modern new look. Customary since 2015, the silver coin is accompanied by a 1 gram gold version. Silver or gold, as a collector coin, an investment, a lucky charm or a gift – the clover leaf coin is always a particularly charming eye-catcher! Did you know that since 2011, every single coin in this series has been fitted with a REAL four-leaf clover? Like all the previous issues we expect a fast sellout of both of these coins. Be quick and secure your own piece of luck!

VIÑALES METEORITE

Page 25: Autumn Launch 2020 - CIT

Do you remember what you did on February 1st, 2019? People in Viñales, a little city in western Cuba do for sure. On that day hundreds of meteorite stones showered down in the area. The meteorites could be seen even from the Florida Keys. In total 100 kg of extraterrestrial material was collected. So the Viñales Meteorite, the 2020 edition of this series (already the 16th issue) can be considered a new meteorite as it is one of the latest official impacts. This stunning piece tells a story. A story how the meteorite, of which an original 2.5 mm part is embedded, has hit the ground. And to picture this dynamic impact on this 1 oz coin CIT uses the new possibilities of the enhanced smartminting© technology. The crater starts from the edge of the coin and ultra high relief creates earth walls in a very realistic way. The combination of proof, frosted and satin areas let us see what people in Viñales experienced in February 2019.
