SILVER FORTUNE FOUR-LEAF CLOVERHere's the press release for a new product from Coin Invest Trust. I like the clover design. Check out the video, but it's about their manufacturing process in general,
not this specific piece. -Editor
  Palau. 5 Dollars. 2018. Silver .999. Antique finish. 1 oz. 38.61 mm. Mintage: 2500 pcs. B. H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt, Munich. The obverse shows the coat of arms of Palau with the inscription REPUBLIC OF PALAU - 5 $ - 2018. The reverse features a four-leaf clover in ornamental design. How better to wish a beloved person good luck than with a four-leaf clover? For all those, who would rather revert to giving everlasting silver, CIT initiated the "Ounce of Luck" series in 2011. While all previous issues featured a real, small four-leaf clover, in the year 2018 the coin itself has been transformed into a cloverleaf thanks to the latest smartminting technology, a cloverleaf whose design was only possible with the most complex minting technology. Under maximum minting pressure a blank, produced specifically for this issue, is turned into a little artwork which combines two difficult-to- unite components: The incredibly high relief, only made possible by smartminting technology, and the most delicate features of a lavish ornamental surface, which curves like a real cloverleaf. Only by holding this cloverleaf in your own hands can you fully appreciate the finesse of the artful minting technique applied here.
