2025 CIT Lost City Pompeii 3 oz Silver Coin

Pompeii was a prosperous ancient Roman city located near present-day Naples, Italy. In 79 AD, the nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted with devastating force, burying the city beneath layers of ash, pumice and volcanic material.

The eruption transformed Pompeii into one of history's most remarkable archaeological sites. The thick layers of volcanic material preserved buildings, streets, objects and details of everyday Roman life for centuries, providing an extraordinary glimpse into the ancient world.

The tragedy unfolded rapidly. As volcanic material continued to accumulate, residents who had taken shelter found themselves increasingly trapped. The enormous ash cloud darkened the sky while intense heat, volcanic gases and advancing lava made escape increasingly difficult.

The eruption ultimately claimed thousands of lives. The volcanic ash also preserved cavities left by victims' bodies, which were later used to create plaster casts. These haunting casts provide a tangible record of the final moments of people caught in the disaster.

The 2025 CIT Lost City Pompeii coin captures the eruption at its most dramatic. Mount Vesuvius rises dramatically from the surface in relief, reaching almost 10 mm in height thanks to smartminting® technology. At its base, streams of deadly lava advance towards the city while two gladiators continue their fight in the nearby arena, seemingly unaware of the catastrophe approaching them.

The extraordinary depth of the relief gives the scene a remarkable three-dimensional appearance, turning the coin into a miniature historical snapshot of one of antiquity's most famous disasters.

With 3 oz of .9999 fine silver, innovative smartminting® technology, dramatic Ultra Deep Relief and a limited mintage of only 499 pieces, the 2025 CIT Lost City Pompeii Silver Coin is a remarkable combination of history, artistry and advanced minting technology.
