2021 $5 La Ciénega Meteorite Impact 1 oz. Silver Coin

It was a sunny day when geologist Hugo Lino was prospecting for gold near the abandoned mining community of La Ciénega in Sonora, Mexico on January 30, 2014. He could not believe his eyes when he found a 6.1 kg fusion-crusted meteorite.

This is the 17th edition of this award-winning series and it is dedicated to the Ciénega Meteorite discovered by Hugo Lino in 2014.

As always and as a signature feature, a real piece of this meteorite is embedded in this coin. But this time in a different and extraordinary way!

In a series first, the meteorite is shown going into the edge of the coin as if the coin was liquid silver when the meteorite hit it! If you hold it at just the right angle, you will see the meteorite now being an integral part of the inside of the coin!

This extraordinary 1 oz .999 silver coin measures 26mm in diameter and is struck in an antique finish. Mintage is limited to only 2500 pieces.

2022 $5 Meteorite Impacts-Aba Panu 1 oz. Proof UHR Video:


A large fireball detonated over the Nigerian state of Oyo on the afternoon of April 19, 2018. A meteoroid entered the Earth’s atmosphere. The extra-terrestrial rocks dug deep cracks and craters in the dry soil of Africa. They were named after the village of Aba Panu, located near the center of the strewn field. Every day, Earth is bombarded with more than 100 tons of dust and sand-sized particles from space. About once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits, creating a spectacular fireball event as the friction of Earth’s atmosphere causes them to disintegrate.
