This coin was issued in Fiji. We have no further information yet but will soon expand this page. When NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990, it wasn’t the first space telescope ever to leave the confines of the planet, but it was one of the largest and most versatile and was met with a fanfare usually reserved for actual human beings. Of course, the orbiting observatory needs lots of human attention, In fact, it’s the only space telescope designed to be maintained by astronauts and to date, five Space Shuttle missions have blasted off to affect repairs, upgrades and system replacements. But unless you have Jeffrey Bezos or Elon Musk kind of money, the odds of you ever rocketing into space, much less visiting the Hubble, are astronomical. But don’t feel like you’re missing out because this coin minted out of space-age Titanium gives you a look at the scientific marvel that is Hubble that’s out of this world! Beautiful Multi-Hued Platinum Coin This fabulous coin shows an incredible colorized image of the Hubble orbiting earth while a colorful image of space forms a backdrop in the background. The colors are actually different titanium colors, creating a multi-hued platinum coin with its outer ring revealing titanium’s natural smoky charcoal-grey hue. Struck in 31.5 grams of highly pure 90% fine titanium, this coin even features the NASA seal of approval with the space agency’s familiar logo prominently placed next to the image of the Hubble Telescope on the coin’s reverse design. One-Billion Seconds In Space There’s still lots of life in the Hubble Telescope and on January 1, 2022, it officially passed the one-billion second mark. Hubble was deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery's cargo bay on April 25, 1990, making it one-billion seconds since it began operating. In its more than three decades of operation, Hubble has played a major role in resolving many long-standing astronomical questions, while also raising many new questions in such scientific discourses as the expansion of the universe, black holes, extending visible wavelength images, new solar systems, supernovas, and the mass and size of our own Milky Way galaxy.
