WOW SIGNAL 6EQUJ5 OHIO 1977 2 OZ 2 DOLLARS SILVER COIN NIUE 2026

In 1977, the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio detected a mysterious signal from deep space that remains unexplained to this day. While reviewing the printout, astronomer Jerry Ehman circled the unusual sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote a single word beside it: “Wow!” — giving birth to one of the most famous events in the history of SETI research.

This stunning 2 oz silver coin pays tribute to that extraordinary moment. The modern design symbolically depicts humanity reaching out toward the unknown — a meeting between human and extraterrestrial intelligence surrounded by mathematical and geometric patterns evoking interstellar communication.

Struck from .999 fine silver in Proof quality with Silk Finish elements, this issue is strictly limited to only 499 pieces worldwide, making it highly desirable for collectors of space-themed numismatics and rare modern coins.
