Hello, I noticed at earlier opportunities, that here on the list are also quite a bunch of meteorite-coin-fans, so I thought, maybe that could be of interest for them.
Recently there was issued a new Moon coin with a piece of the lunaite NWA 4881. I personally don't like that much meteorite coins, medals, tokens, cause for my personal taste they're looking to me often somewhat plump and comic-like styled. But this one is very tasteful and elegant in my eyes. http://kuerzer.de/4881coin I like that idea, that the body of the coin is the Moon itself. The averse and the reverse show the relief of the front- and backside of the Moon, fine also that the coin has no bulky rim around. On the front, there is mounted into the mare Imbrium a piece of the Moon meteorite NWA 4881. Material is .925er silver with an antique finish, It's a silver Moon. Occasion was 50 years Luna 3 & 40 years Moon landing. Note also the 50ies-style font. Edition was 1969 pieces. Cook Islands, 5 dollars, 2009. Quality is Proof. Weight is 25grams, diameter 38.6mm Problem is, I learned, that the whole edition was already sold out, but that coin-dealer, where I gave the link to, has still some remainders left. So in case, one shouldn't wait to long. To clarify: I've nothing to do with that sale, we are not selling this coin. (On contrary, I had to order from there my coin too. My first and only meteorite coin). Best!
