ALETAI IRON METEORITE 1 DOLLAR 1 OZ NIUE ISLAND 2022

This exceptional coin issue is made out of a fragment of
the Aletai meteorite. The first fragment of this meteorite
was found in 1898 in the Aletai mountains which stretch
across the borderlands of Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia
and China. As the material of the coin is assumed to be
4.56 billion years old, it is a fascinating witness to the
origins of our solar system.
