Description

Measuring 50 mm in diameter and struck from 3oz of pure silver, the $5 2022 Endangered Earth Blue Marble uses spherical minting technology to create a replica our planet. The Earth's landmasses are plated in 24k gold and its seas are finished in a translucent blue enamel applied by hand. Embedded directly into the Pacific Ocean is a genuine chondrite meteorite, properly scaled to simulate a catastrophic, earth-destroying meteor impact. While popularized in science fiction, this doomsday scenario is a real possibility, as scientists estimate a meteor just 60 miles (96 km) wide could extinguish all life on Earth. The bottom of the coin features the coat of arms of Barbados. 

The coin comes in a presentation display case including a clear acrylic cover allowing for a 360 degree view of the three dimensional globe. Mintage is limited to just 999 pieces worldwide.
