Laughing Buddha

Two new CIT coins will add joy to anyones collection. Featuring the Laughing Buddha or Budai, the two coins merge two popular techniques with an ever cheerful Laughing Buddha image. The silver coin weighs a whooping two ounces and has an elegant black proof surface finish. The gleaming Laughing Buddha is gilded and struck in a striking smartminting high relief. The silver coin is limited to 888 pieces. The gold version on the other hand is a classic CIT special shape, 0.5 gram coin. However, the charming Laughing Buddha struck in a stylized relief now measures 13.92 mm, instead of the usual 11 mm thanks to BigGold Minting technology.
