Smartminting Reloaded Brings Coins a Whole New Relief

DURING THE WORLD Money Fair 2020, CIT Coin Invest AG announced a new and extremely significant enhancement in its Smartminting technology. Termed Smartminting Reloaded, this advancement allows for 100 percent higher relief while maintaining a highly defined proof finish. Most importantly, and certainly the feature that stunned me when first examining the Majestic Eagle coins struck for Mongolia, was the reach of this higher relief. When you see the coins from a side view, you will notice that the relief extends right to the outer edges of these coins. You will also note that the relief is not symmetrically balanced; it is not necessarily highest at the center and, incredibly, high relief is present on both sides of the coins.

When attending the World Money Fair, we have the pleasure to meet with many mints and distributors of modern coinage.
