The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty Elizabeth II surrounded by the inscriptions: the Queen’s name, the face value of the coin, its issuing country and year. The reverse is a small replica of the Meteor Crater – a huge hole about three quarters of a mile wide and 600 feet deep. It’s believed to be 20,000 and 40,000 years old. Modern settlers did not discover meteor crater until the 1870s. A piece of the real Canyon Diablo Meteorite is the centerpiece of the reverse making the coin a real treasure for those hunting for meteorites and unique coins. Such pieces are among the most historically significant meteorites available to collectors. By some estimates, the fireball weighed about 50,000 tons!
