    New release coming from Germania Mint. Here's a nice video showing the coin and display. It's an OK design but not for me. Includes a real piece of meteor (see underlined text).

    Desc: "The Niue Island – 2021 Impact Moments: Meteorite 2 oz Silver High Relief coin was created by Germania Mint in partnership with Numizzmi. The two companies have teamed up to create a unique coin with a motif referring to the extinction of dinosaurs as a result of a meteorite hitting the earth 66 mln years ago. Each coin contains a piece of this extremely rare fragment of galactic rock called Muonionalusta – a more than 4.5 billion year old meteorite discovered in 1906 in northern Sweden.

    The coin has an unusual shape that on both sides symbolizes a meteorite entering the Earth’s atmosphere. The obverse of the coin also shows a dinosaur skeleton and an image of Queen Elizabeth II. The reverse depicts a volcanic eruption and a Triceratops – reaching 9 meters in length, one of the most distinctive herbivorous dinosaurs."

    50mm Diameter
