Description: 2016 5 OZ SILVER 5000 FRANCS MALI MERCURY METEORITE NWA 7325/8409 This beautiful 5 Oz Silver coin depicts the Mercury surface, with a real meteorite insert NWA 7325/8409, Antique Finish quality and a concave shape.Sometimes something really mysterious from outer space is found on earth.This is the case of the „Green Meteorite“ NWA 7325, named so because of the green crystals embedded in the plutonic rock, found 2012 in Morocco.This thing was so very different from any other meteorites that only almost criminological reasoning could solve the mystery.After ruling out almost all of the celestial bodies of our solar system only one candidate for the supposed origin of this meteorite left: the Mercury, this tiny, poorly explored planet nearest to our sun.This makes this rock from space one of the rarest finds of recent years.A year later a very similar meteorite was purchased by a collector at the famous Meteorite Show in the french town of Enisheim, also coming from North Africa, now named NWA 8409.Later research led to the conclusion that this is another piece of the same meteoroid, that is both NWA 7325 and 8409 were forming one body prior to the impact on earth.Every coin is numbered at the edge.Due to the extreme rarity of Mercury meteorites the coin contains either a piece of NWA 7325 or NWA 8409.The extra meteorite certificate will tell the collector which one he purchased.The coin is housed in a prestigious wooden box with Certificate of Authenticity.Extremely Low Mintage Of 175 Pieces Worldwide. This is number 50 of 175. Buyer gets free USPS Priority shipping and insurance. Sorry, no international shipping unless you use eBay's global shipping program.
