Story
The 2019 Ounce of Luck coin continues CIT Coin Invest AG’s popular series that can be given to loved ones to wish them good fortune. The silver version, which combines a real four-leaf clover and the saying “Better an Ounce of Luck than a Pound of Gold,” has been issued since 2010.
The 2019 Ounce of Luck is different from previous issues, especially in terms of the much more elaborate design of the clover’s background. The embellishments on the rim appear almost lush in comparison.
The small gold coin “Four-leaf Clover” is only the fifth version issued since 2010. The first emission was still sold without a year of issue. The series was then continued in 2016, 2017, and 2018.
The 2019 version also distinguishes itself from its precursors in terms of its very elaborately embellished rim.

This is such a stunning coin! I love the Palau releases, they have such unique products! I bought this skull last year: https://bullionexchanges.com/2018-1-oz-palau-la-catrina-skull-high-relief-antiqued-silver-coin and it’s a really cool way of making your collection a little bit special. Anytime I show anyone my collection, the first thing they comment on is my skull! So funny!
Hello A Carr,
Thank you for your comments and keep them coming, because this is one of the ways of ensuring that collectors can find the kind of coins they want to add to their collections – the designers and mints DO read our articles and the products do eventually reflect their likes and dislikes..! The clover coin was especially popular so there’s no reason that it may not be replicated again in some form in the future perhaps by another issuing authority.
