Barbados 2022 $5 Blue Marble Endangered Earth Gold-plated Fine Silver with Meteorite

A large enough meteor strike could ruin the blue marble in space that is humanity's home. That's the poignant reminder offered by this incredible contemporary Barbados coin. This globe-shaped piece was crafted from .999 silver and covered with blue enamel seas and 24 karat gold-plated continents. Finally, a chondrite meteorite is embedded in the coin's Pacific Ocean. The certificate indicates this chondrite piece was discovered at Ouarzazate, Morocco. Your coin is enclosed in a transparent display and outer box, and is accompanied by certificates for the coin and the meteorite. With this coin, you can look upon or even touch, if you dare, an ancient stone that has sailed through space - and behold the peril it represents to our marvellous planet Earth.
