It’s dedicated to the Popigai Crater that is located in northern Siberia, Russia at the edge of the polar ice cap.The coin is distinguished by its ultra-high relief with antique finish and a piece of real meteorite atop! Struck from 1 oz fine silver .999, it’s one of those rare things – only 666 pieces worldwide!

The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II surrounded by the inscriptions: the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, its issuing country and year.

A piece of the real Popigai Meteorite is the centerpiece of the reverse making the coin a real treasure for those hunting for meteorites and unique coins. The reverse itself is a small replica of the Popigai crater. The real crater is tied with the Manicouagan Crater as the fourth largest verified impact crater on Earth. A large bolide impact created the 100 kilometres diameter crater approximately 35 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch (Priabonian stage). It is designated by UNESCO as a Geopark, a site of special geological heritage. The coin comes housed in a luxury wooden box with a certificate of authenticity also provided.
