The planet Mars is only half the size of Earth, but its reddish shimmer has fascinated mankind since the dawn of time. 400 years ago, in 1609, Galileo became the first man to view Mars through a telescope. This limited mintage legal tender Five Dollar coin is struck in 25 grams of Sterling Silver, which has been layered in Copper to give it an antiqued reddish tone in honor of the Red Planet. AND, each coin contains an authentic piece of an actual Mars meteorite! We were only able to secure a small cache of this incredible coin, so act now.
