Viñales Meteorite .999 Silver Proof

Do you remember what you did on February 1st, 2019?

People in Viñales - a little city in western Cuba - do for sure. On that day, hundreds of meteorite stones showered down in the area. The meteorites could be seen even from the Florida Keys! In total, 100kg of extraterrestrial material was collected.

This stunning piece tells an exciting story - A story about how the meteorite, of which an original 2.5 mm part is physically embedded in the 5 Dollar Piece, hit the ground. Smartminting© technology has been recruited to picture this dynamic impact on the 1 ounce silver coin. The crater starts from the edge of the coin and ultra high relief creates earth walls in a very realistic way. The combination of proof, frosted, and satin areas let us see what people in Viñales experienced in February 2019.
