Nantan iron meteorites represent one of the rare witnessed iron meteorite falls in the world. The fall was recorded vividly -- “During summertime in May of Jiajing 11th year (1516), stars fell from the northwest direction, five to six fold long, waving like snakes and dragons. They were as bright as lightning and disappeared in seconds". Issued by the island Republic of Palau, this beautiful Five Dollar legal tender proof silver crown has a genuine piece of the Nantan meteorite incused in the coin’s surface and comes in a cherry-wood presentation box with a Certificate of Authenticity. It would be an extraordinary gift for any collector of meteorites or world coins.
