Description
The obverse depicts a combination of a front and side view of the head of a golden eagle. The reverse depicts the claws of the eagle, with four talons holding an arrow; above, the emblem of the Central Bank of Mongolia, with the relevant denomination in Cyrillic characters underneath; gold and silver issues underneath, “MONGOLIA” in Latin characters, as well as weight, purity, and material. A complex meander pattern forms the background.
Background
With the mini series “Majestic Eagle”, CIT Coin Invest presents the first products of a new generation.
Thanks to a significant enhancement of smartminting© technology, it is now possible, for the first time, to produce high-relief, proof coins, on which the highest points of the relief are not determined by technical necessity, but rather by the artist’s creative preference.
With 100% higher relief than traditional smartminting©, the new technology achieves a more realistic depiction of the eagle’s talons and beak than has ever been possible before in the history of coinage.
For the first time, smartminting© was also used – for the “Majestic Eagle” series – to mint gold and copper coins, meaning the new technology opens up previously undreamt-of possibilities. So, even on the gold coin, with a weight of 1/10 ounce and a diameter of 16.5 mm, the impressive relief really comes into its own.
Be it copper, silver, or gold, every piece in the “Majestic Eagle” series is a prototype of a new generation of commemorative coins, for which, thanks to the new smartminting© technology, innovative artists will be able to develop entirely new designs.
CIT Coin Invest presented the “Majestic Eagle” series at the 2020 World Money Fair in Berlin.
