AC/DC
One year ago CIT launched the first officially licensed AC/DC coins. We did not expect rock and coin fans worldwide to make this memorabilia series such a huge success. No doubt this collection needs to be extended and so we added 4 extraordinary pieces. Beside a special shaped guitar pick (no Hard Rock without an electric guitar) the master piece of the new AC/DC releases is The Razors Edge coin. Check out the Proof finish that is expertly colored in just the right spots and a mind blowing high relief based on our smartminting© technology is a modern 3D version of the original album cover. This Razors Edge coin is on the cutting edge of minting Technology!
Edelweiss – Mountain Star
The Edelweiss is one of the most famous but also most endangered plants of the Alps. It is protected from picking by hikers in most areas. This botanic rarity, a symbol of mountains and untouched nature, can also be found in Mongolia, the issuing country. The Edelweiss represents attributes like courage, loyalty and community. Also well known as main theme from the famous musical/film hit “Sound of Music”. This high relief shaped coin in smartminting© technology with antique finish makes a wonderful gift that is a little treasure to protect.
The 7 Summits 2019 – Kilimanjaro
Welcome to Africa and the fourth stop of our journey to the 7 Summits. The Kilimanjaro is considered to be the highest freestanding solid rock on earth and probably one of the best known mountains around the world. This impressive piece will be minted in highly detailed, three dimensional topographic relief reflecting the green savanna, pure vulcanic rock up to the ice covered summit with a refined partial colour application. This coin captures contrasts and uniqueness with outstanding smartminting© effects.
Magnificent Life 2019 – Philippine Eagle
The 2019 edition of this series is dedicated to the Philipinne Eagle. Hardly visible from the Ground its kingdom is up in the treetops of the Philippine rainforest. Unfortunately this magnificent creature is listed as one of the twelve most endangered species. The three-dimensional smartminting© relief combined with a concave shape generates the impression of an outstanding beak. A glossy finish of the eagle eyes are a highlight of this partially colored coin and will give you a thrill once you look at it.
Meteorite Impacts 2019 – Estacado

This amazing piece is also the largest of the series and measures an impressive 50 mm in diameter without increasing the ½ oz. Get yourself a piece of the extraterrestrial meteorite embedded on an unique and exceptional coin.
Evolution of Life 2019 – Sinraptor
The latest ANA release out of our Evolution of Life series can be considered as a dinosaur baby as the Sinraptor was discovered “just” 32 years ago. Find this prehistoric killer on an impressively detailed high relief coin, plated in rose gold on an antique finish rock matrix background. All previous releases of this series are already sold out.
Beside these impressive additions to successful collections the ANA releases also include some very new appealing eye catcher.
