CIT Mint Collection

One of the pioneers of the way we fish was a man by the name of Julio T. Buel. He created a fishing lure that revolutionized the industry. He was out fishing one day in 1834 on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont. Legend has it that his boat hit a rock as he was eating, and he dropped his spoon into the water. As he watched it wiggle its way to the bottom, he noticed a fish come and grabbed his spoon and made off with it.

Realizing the potential, he quickly made his way back home and “borrowed” a spoon from his mother. He sawed off the handle and drilled a hole on one end, and soldered a hook on the other. He went back out and ended up catching two large brown trout that he had been trying for years to catch. He then went about town to tell his story, and soon people wanted him to make the Buel Lure for themselves. He ended up receiving a patent for his design and was recognized worldwide for his invention. His lure is still being sold today!

CIT has developed a coin that honors his invention and replicates the unique shape of his spoon lure!  Struck from a 1/10 oz of pure gold in silk finish, this amazing coin would be the perfect gift for your avid fisher! Be sure to get yours before the BIG one gets away!

H.P. Lovecraft, in full Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 – 1937), was an American author of fantastic and macabre short novels and stories. He is acknowledged as one of the 20^th-century masters of the Gothic tale of terror. The Cthulhu mythos derives from the central creature in H. P. Lovecraft’s short story «The Call of Cthulhu», which was first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in 1928. It is a shared universe referring to ancient and powerful deities known as the «Great Old Ones, » descending from deep space. Cthulhu is the most widely known of the Old Ones, waiting to rise from a submerged city at the bottom of the ocean to wreak havoc on mankind. Since its creation, the Cthulhu mythos has been extended to tabletop games, graphic novels, games as well as book series.

Specialized uniforms and equipment are a telltale sign of a special forces soldier, and these can be seen on this black-proof finished coin in exceptional detail and in ultra-high relief! The soldier’s protective goggles are expertly colorized to contrast his helmet and mask.

Just beside the rim, you can find the traditional motto of the special forces “de oppresso liber” in micro minting. The obverse shows special forces being dropped in under the cover of night with the primal understanding that “Only the brave are free”.

2022 $5 Circles of Life Silver 1oz Proof Video:

“Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.” “But, Dad, don’t we eat the antelope?” “Yes, Simba, but let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so, we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.” – Mufasa & Simba, Disney’s Lion King

In the 90s, Disney explained the eternal cycle in a refreshingly simple and accessible way. Essentially, it is nature’s way of taking and giving back life to earth, meaning if something dies, it gives new life to another. The fusion of a human fingerprint with the annual rings of a tree is our attempt to symbolize the balance, respect and approchement between man and nature.

2022 $5 Eclectic Nature - Roller 1 oz Silver Proof UHR Video:

Eclecticism is the combination or mixing of different styles, theories, or ideas in order to gain complementary knowledge on a subject. The term comes from the Greek eklektikos, “to choose the best,” and that from eklektos, “picked out, select.” We have embraced this approach of choosing only the best for our 2^nd edition of the Eclectic Nature series.

The eye-catching European Roller, with its radiant turquoise and azure plumage, is native to parts of Europe, northern Africa, and Asia. Named for the risky dives and somersaults it performs during the display flights in courtship, the European roller is one of the Old-World birds. Its fondness for a warm climate causes this long-distance migrant to spend its winters mainly in southern Africa.

2022 $5 Meteorite Impacts-Aba Panu 1 oz. Proof UHR Video:

A large fireball detonated over the Nigerian state of Oyo on the afternoon of April 19, 2018. A meteoroid entered the Earth’s atmosphere. The extra-terrestrial rocks dug deep cracks and craters in the dry soil of Africa. They were named after the village of Aba Panu, located near the center of the strewn field. Every day, Earth is bombarded with more than 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles from space. About once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits, creating a spectacular fireball event as the friction of Earth’s atmosphere causes them to disintegrate.

2022 $5 Scarab-Ramses II 1oz. Silver UHR video:

What happened here? Where is the person fishing in the Everglades?

Maybe we are too late and the satisfied alligator already had its lunch and left the fisherman’s hat as proof of his meal. Possibly, we are not witness to a terrible accident, but just see a symbolic way to show that the peaceful and respectful coexistence of man and wild animals is possible. You get to decide the story!

Thanks to the enhanced smartminting® technology, the situation is captured on this impressive 1 oz 38.61 mm coin in a special way, as you have two perspectives above and below the water surface. Ultra-high relief on both sides and sophisticated coloring bring this scenario to life from two different perspectives.

The mintage of this new release is 2022, and it will give you goosebumps when you hold it in your hand as you think about the Alligator that still roams among us!

2022 $500 Evolution of Life-Synapsida 1oz. Silver HR Video:

The 8^th edition of the unrivaled Evolution of Life series stuns with a remarkable new representative of a distant past. Edaphosaurus, meaning «pavement lizard» for its dense clusters of teeth, is a genus of extinct synapsids. It roamed the earth from the Late Carboniferous to the Early Permian period (318 million to 271 million years ago). The primitive herbivorous relative of mammals reached a body length of over 3.5 meters, with a short, low skull and blunt, conical teeth. The most distinctive feature, however, was the large «sail» on its back. While its function is still in dispute, researchers speculate such sails could have provided camouflage, protection against predator attacks, regulation of body temperature, or sexual display and species recognition.
