7k Metals Introduces 1-kilo Grand Canyon Silver Coin

During Black Friday in November 2024, 7k Metals unveiled one of its most ambitious projects to date: the 1-kilo Grand Canyon silver coin. Part of the Topography collection, this massive coin set a new standard in the numismatic world with its remarkable size, innovative design, and groundbreaking smartminting® technology.

Honoring the iconic Grand Canyon, the 1-kilo silver coin showcased an intricately detailed landscape that seemed to leap off its surface. With only 77 coins minted, this ultra-rare piece quickly became a coveted treasure among collectors.

This release followed the successful launch of a 5-oz Grand Canyon coin in August but took everything to a larger scale. At nearly seven times the weight of its predecessor, the 1-kilo version magnified every detail of the Grand Canyon’s rugged beauty. Thanks to cutting-edge smartminting® technology, the coin featured ultra-high relief, bringing to life the Colorado River as it carved through craggy cliffs and steep valleys.

According to CIT, the coin’s producer, the ultra-deep relief design—complete with internal recesses—marked a groundbreaking achievement in numismatics. Collectors praised the craftsmanship, noting it was a piece that needed to be both seen and felt to be fully appreciated.

Blake Davis, 7k Metals’ chief sales and marketing officer, described the coin as “a masterpiece in both size and design.” He added, “The technology used to create this coin is next-level as it shows a level of detail that truly brings the magnificence of the Grand Canyon to life. It’s a stunning work of art and the perfect showpiece for a collection. And with just 77 coins minted, this was an extraordinary opportunity for collectors.”
