First-of-its-kind kilo coin to drop Black Friday
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho – September 12, 2024 – We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of an exceptionally large and unique collectible: the 1-kilo Grand Canyon silver coin. As part of the Topography collection, honoring some of the most noteworthy landforms on the planet, this massive coin is not only remarkable for its sheer size but also for its groundbreaking smartminting® technology, which intricately carves the Grand Canyon’s iconic landscape into the surface of the coin. With only 77 coins minted, this rare collector’s piece will debut Black Friday, November 29, 2024.
In August, the 5-oz Grand Canyon coin launched, but this upcoming 1-kilo coin is nearly seven times heavier than its predecessor. This mega-sized coin is not just larger in weight—it magnifies every detail. The smartminting® technology allows for ultra-high relief, creating lifelike depictions of the Colorado River as it cuts through the Grand Canyon’s craggy cliffs and steep valleys. The stunning depth and detail reach all the way to the edges of the coin. According to CIT, the coin’s producer, this level of ultra-deep relief with internal recesses is a first in the industry, making this a one-of-a-kind collectible that you truly have to see—and touch—to appreciate.
