The mint says about this coin:

Messier 100, also known as NGC 4321, is a grand design spiral galaxy located approximately 55 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781 and later added to Charles Messier’s catalog of deep-sky objects. With a diameter of about 107,000 light-years, Messier 100 is one of the brightest and largest galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, a massive collection of over 1,000 galaxies that includes our own Milky Way.
