Italian Excellence Coin Series:



Coin Invest Trust considered how they could best combine the possibilities of smartminting® technology with this topic. 

The result is this breathtaking coin, which depicts the iconic “boot” shape of the Italian peninsula in an impressive ultra-high and ultra-deep relief. 

The Italian peninsula rises majestically above the surface of the coin, with an ultra-high relief that depicts the Alps and countless hilly landscapes in breathtaking detail. The coastal regions, which merge into gentle plains and rugged cliffs, are also lovingly crafted, creating an almost tangible dimension. 

The Coin:

On the Reverse of this $10 Silver Proof Coin, through an ultra-deep relief, the ocean below is modeled in rich detail, reflecting the effect of the water. 

The use of shiny, smooth surfaces enhances the impression of wave motion, while matte and partially colored areas create depth and texture. 

This interplay of high and low creates a spectacular 3D effect—a bold tribute to the connection between Italy's landscape and the Mediterranean Sea. The national coat of arms of Italy is partially colored and cleverly integrated below the waterline. 

The coin is a technical masterpiecehigh-gloss areas alternate with matte surfaces, creating a realistic and contrasting representation of the texture of the landscape and the sea. 

The coloured details—such as the golden coastlines and the soft blue tones of the water—bring the design to life. 

“Repubblica d'Italia” is a tribute to the unique relationship between Italy's land and the surrounding Mediterranean Sea. 

It celebrates the harmony between nature and history, between the heights of the mountains and the depths of the sea, reminding us of the diversity and beauty of this country. 

For collectors and lovers of Italy, this 2 oz silver coin with a mirror finish is not just a souvenir, but a real journey through Italian geography and culture. 

The Obverse of the $10 (Ten Dollars) Silver Coin features a left facing effigy of Charles III. The peripheral inscriptions are - '10 DOLLARS. CHARLES III. COOK ISLANDS."
