The latest coin release from CIT is a tribute to the imposing Elephants of Africa in their untamed Savanna Power.
The new coin, which is a glorious meeting of modern minting technology and majestic grandeur has been produced using smartminting® technology. Thanks to this technique, the elephant rises across several levels through multiple silver segments, which breaks through the boundaries of the coin’s edge and creates a new uniquely shaped work of art. The result is an exceptionally surreal animal portrait in ultra-high relief. Sophisticated and ethnic design elements build a thematic bridge to the origins of this magnificent animal.
Above: The new Reconstruction - Elephant coin from CIT has been produced using smartminting® technology which has made the ultra-high relief elements of the coin possible to produce.
