CIT’s Summer Launch 2026 Catalogue: First Responders, Wild Predators, and Historic Legends

CIT has unveiled its Summer Launch 2026 catalogue, and it brings sixteen new releases across returning collections plus several standalone tributes. From an emotional first responders set to wild predators, cultural icons, and pivotal moments in American history, the lineup covers a wide range of collector interests. Overall, this roundup explores each new release and the series it joins.

First Responders: Police & Firefighter

First, the Police & Firefighter Silver Set pays tribute to the courage of everyday heroes. Specifically, two 1 oz silver coins combine ultra-high relief minting with bold coloring and an enamel finish, and CIT limits the set to 500 pieces worldwide. In addition, matching 1 g gold editions of the Police and Firefighter designs extend the tribute in fine gold, with only 911 pieces of each. Altogether, the set gives collectors a meaningful way to honor first responders through modern ultra-high relief minting.

Barre de Luxe: Leopard

Next, the Barre de Luxe series combines a classic precious metal bar with detailed wildlife art. In this release, the 3 oz silver Leopard bar features intricate fur patterns, radiating background elements, and full gilding, and only 300 pieces exist worldwide. Meanwhile, a companion 0.5 g gold miniature carries the same design into a smaller, highly detailed format, with 5,000 pieces available. As a result, both editions capture the leopard’s strength and elegance in striking relief.

Black and White: Lion

Similarly, the Lion issue expands the Black and White series with a high-contrast obsidian finish. Here, deep black elements and light, textured surfaces frame a detailed lion portrait, while a gloss print on the eyes creates a fascinating reflective effect. Because CIT strikes it with smartminting technology in 1 oz of silver, this animal-themed coin stands out, and only 500 pieces reach collectors worldwide.

Seven Deadly Sins: Envy

Meanwhile, the fifth issue in the Seven Deadly Sins series turns to envy, depicted through a bear gazing up at a soaring eagle. In this design, the eagle symbolizes freedom and superiority, qualities the bear can only long for. Consequently, this 1 oz silver coin uses colored detailing to bring the allegory to life, and CIT caps the mintage at 999 pieces.

Spectrum: Parrot

Meanwhile, the Spectrum series welcomes a vibrant Parrot design, featuring widely spread wings and a dynamic pose. Notably, a special prisma plating makes every coin unique, blending shades of color that shift with the light. Struck in 1 oz of silver with ultra-high relief, this release reaches only 999 pieces worldwide.

Lunar Year Collection: Fluffy Gilded Sheep

Ahead of the 2027 Year of the Sheep, CIT expands its three-dimensional Lunar Year Collection with a gold-plated edition. In turn, the free-standing 1 oz silver coin captures the sheep’s gentle, creative character in fine sculptural detail. As with the rest of the catalogue, CIT limits this lunar-themed release to just 888 pieces.

Evergreen: Ladybug

Likewise, the Ladybug issue brings the Evergreen series a fully sculpted symbol of luck. For instance, Swarovski crystals accent the ladybug’s spots, while clovers and guilloche patterns fill the rose-gilded, enamelled background. With a mintage of just 888 pieces, this 1 oz silver coin offers a jewel-like finish for collectors of nature-inspired designs.

Knight Games: Jousting

Next, the first issue in a new three-coin series honors William Marshal, one of the greatest knights of the Middle Ages. Specifically, the design shows Marshal mid-joust from his own visor’s perspective, framed by his family coat of arms. Struck in 1 oz of colored silver, CIT limits this release to 750 pieces worldwide.

3 Levels of Japan

In contrast, this layered design combines a modern Tokyo cityscape, a subway platform, and Mount Fuji in one three-dimensional composition. Furthermore, the 2 oz silver coin uses smartminting technology and a black proof finish to capture the contrast between tradition and modern life. As a result, only 777 pieces will reach collectors.

Topography: Bryce Canyon

Then, the Topography series turns to Bryce Canyon National Park, known for its tower-like red rock hoodoos. Through a deep relief design and detailed coloring, the coin recreates the canyon’s texture across a 50 mm, 5 oz silver format. Once again, CIT limits this release to 777 pieces worldwide.

Enemies in History: Custer vs. Sitting Bull

Meanwhile, the latest Enemies in History issue revisits the Battle of the Little Bighorn, pairing General Custer with Lakota Chief Sitting Bull in back-to-back ultra-high relief portraits. On the obverse, the design reproduces Charles Schreyvogel’s The Duel, Tomahawk and Sabre. Struck in 2 oz of silver, CIT caps the coin at 500 pieces.

Forging of Independence: Delaware

Similarly, this release commemorates Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River in 1776, a turning point in the Revolutionary War. Meanwhile, partial gilding highlights the general’s cloak against an antiqued 2 oz silver background, while the obverse depicts the Battle of Trenton. As with the other historical issues, only 500 pieces of this tribute exist worldwide.

Hoover Dam

As a standalone tribute to one of the 20th century’s great engineering achievements, this coin follows the dam’s iconic silhouette in an unconventional shape. Additionally, ultra-deep relief and detailed coloring recreate the Black Canyon landscape across 2 oz of silver. Once again, CIT mints just 500 pieces worldwide.

Born for Speed: Sailfish

Finally, the Born for Speed series closes the catalogue with the sailfish, one of the fastest fish in the world at speeds near 110 km/h. To capture that motion, ultra-high relief and a concave water surface give the design a strong sense of movement. In total, this 1 oz silver coin reaches only 999 pieces.

A Catalogue Built on Emotion and Detail

Altogether, CIT’s Summer Launch spans emotional tributes, wildlife portraits, cultural motifs, and defining moments in history. Even so, each series follows its own creative direction, yet all of them share a focus on fine detail and limited availability.

Furthermore, the lineup shows how modern minting techniques can bring these themes to life. From ultra-high relief and gilding to enamel work and Swarovski crystal detailing, each technique plays a role somewhere in the collection, and together they give every release its own distinct character.

Ultimately, collectors can explore the full range through the CIT collection to see what is currently available.
