Regular price
$699.00

Once the domain solely of blockbuster Hollywood movies, the interception of incoming, potentially world-killing asteroids is now a real thing, thanks to NASA! Instead of Bruce Willis, however, NASA's Direct Asteroid Redirection Test was performed by the unmanned spacecraft, DART Impactor, which cannoned into the asteroid Dimorphos on September 26th, 2022. The test was a success! NASA successfully redirected the path of an asteroid using kinetic energy!
This Melbourne Coin Co. exclusive release celebrates one of Man's most monumental achievements in space on a MASSIVE FIVE OUNCE silver coin. Depicting the Impactor craft itself, on its way to Dimorphos, this 60mm, 99.9% pure silver behemoth features incredible minted detail. On the other side, the exact type of catastrophic event NASA are hoping to prevent... the extinction of the dinosaurs, caused by a huge meteor collision with Earth millions of years ago.
The 2024 Asteroid Redirection Test is limited to a TINY limited mintage of just 199 coins.
