In 2004, Liberia was the first country to authorize the issue of a legal tender coin with an embedded piece of meteorite, a Ten Dollar silver coin with a piece of the NWA 267 Meteorite found in the Sahara Desert. No one could have predicted that the coin would increase over 1000 percent in value in just a few short years. Since then, multiple countries have issued their own meteorite coins and the collector base for this type of extra-terrestrial coinage is growing daily. We try to keep up with the new issues as they come out, but some issues sell out very quickly and our allocations from the various mints can be very limited. So take a look at our offerings and grab a little piece of numismatic space.

Palau Genuine Nantan Meteorite Proof Silver Crown 2006 $5 Case and COA

$199.99

Nantan iron meteorites represent one of the rare witnessed iron meteorite falls in the world. The fall was recorded vividly — During May of Jiajing (the 11th Ming Dynasty Emperor of China) in the year of 1516, stars fell from the northwest, 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 infused in the coin’s surface and comes in a wooden presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity. It would be an extraordinary gift for any collector of meteorites or world coins.
