A meteorite is essentially a space rock that has reached Earth’s surface. While still roaming space as the dusty debris of a comet, or as a lump of iron orbiting the sun, it is referred to as a meteoroid. It becomes a meteor when it begins its final journey through Earth’s atmosphere - every one of its atoms alive in a magnificent glow as it passes through the planet’s atmosphere with a fiery explosion and spectacular trail of light – also known as a ‘shooting star’. Spectacular and gone in an instant!

Luckily, most meteors are vaporised in the atmosphere, but if it is large enough, it can smash into the Earth’s surface, creating an impact crater with fragments of metallic rock scattering the impact zone – rare treasures from a mysterious and infinite universe. The sky’s the limit for a lucky few who will get their hands on this must-have coin. A strictly limited edition of just 750 coins worldwide has been set, each one underpinned by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
