31.1 (1 oz). The amazing Popigai meteorite is predestined to be immortalised on this very interesting 1 Oz Silver coin, the third of series “Meteorite”, with an authentic fragment of meteorite inlaid. It depicts the famous Meteor Crater created by the meteorite impact about 35 million years ago in Siberia, Russia. The coin features Ultra High Relief, antique finish and mintage is limited to 666 pcs! The coin’s reverse features a real and genuine meteorite Popigai over the meteor crater in Russia. On the top of the coin the inscription “METEORITE CRATER POPIGAI”. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Below inscriptions: Ag 999 (hallmark). Along the rim inscriptions: ELIZABETH II, ONE DOLLAR (face value), NIUE ISLAND (issuer), 2016 (year of issue). Meteorite Popigai The Popigai crater (or astrobleme) in Siberia, Russia is tied with the Manicouagan Crater as the fourth largest verified impact crater on Earth. A large bolide impact created the 100 kilometres (62 mi) diameter crater approximately 35 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch (Priabonian stage). The crater is 300 km east from the outpost of Khatanga and 880 km (550 mi) NE of the city of Norilsk. It is designated by UNESCO as a Geopark, a site of special geological heritage. There is a small possibility that Popigai impact crater formed simultaneous with the approximately 35-million-year-old Chesapeake Bay and Toms Canyon impact craters. For decades the Popigai crater has fascinated paleontologists and geologists, but the entire area was completely off limits because of the diamonds found there and the mines constructed by gulag prisoners under Stalin. However, a major investigatory expedition was undertaken in 1997, which greatly advanced understanding of the enigmatic structure. The impactor in this event has been identified as either an 8 km (5.0 mi) diameter chondrite asteroid, or a 5 km (3.1 mi) diameter stony asteroid. The shock pressures from the impact instantaneously transformed graphite in the ground into diamonds within a 13.6 km (8.5 mi) radius of the impact point. These diamonds are usually 0.5 to 2 mm in diameter, though a few exceptional specimens are 10 mm (0.39 in) in size. The diamonds not only inherited the tabular shape of the original graphite grains but they additionally preserved the original crystals’ delicate striations.

1 Oz (31.10g). The Wolfe Creek Crater coin is the second in it particular series after the release of the Canyon Diablo coin in 2014. As with most coins of this theme, pride of place goes to an inset piece of the actual meteorite, but this series has it sat. The coin at the low point of an ultra-high relief reverse side, and the chunk is far larger than most that have gone before. Previous coins have always had a tiny chuck embedded in a windowed hole. Like last years Canyon Diablo, it really is quite a superb example of the genre, being beautifully struck and highly detailed. The concentric ripples just scream out. And the textures struck into them are pretty impressive. As good as the Canyon Diablo coin was, this one improves on it. Incredibly low mintage – limited to only 666 pieces. Comes with capsule, certificate of authenticity and a presentation case. We strive for excellent service. Though we normally reply to inquiries as soon as possible, please note that our office is limited on weekends and holidays.
