CIT Autumn Launch Day: The Armillary Sphere, the Dragonfly, and the Eiffel Tower demonstrate CIT's technical and artistic ability in modern numismatics We've taken to picking out three noteworthy coins from CIT's quarterly seasonal releases to look at one launch day, and that's the case again for the last of the 2023 events - Autumn.

Probably our favourite lunar series of recent years, CIT's fully dimensional range has great design, a quirky attitude, and superb quality. For 2024, the lunar calendar has the dragon as its figurehead, the only mythological creature of the 12, and likely the most popular, if coin sales are any indicator. The dragon is brilliant, even including the [...]

The tiny minigold format has carved out a decently sized niche in the modern numismatic market, and we think that's likely to continue if the price of gold rises again. A very affordable way to buy gold, even though [...]
