This is an incredible, if slightly perplexing commemorative.
The industry of commemorative coins is a truly competitive one - there are numerous mints around the world competing for the mighty collector dollar.
One way the world's mints try to beat their competitors is to produce coins that are technically innovative, and that catch the jaded collector's eye.
This coin certainly meets that bill! It has been produced (not struck) in 100% clear acrylic - looking at the edge of the coin, it's easy to see that the design has been laser etched into it.
The coin measures up at a hefty 50mm in diameter, and is 20mm thick. It tips the scales at a hefty 100 grams, and while the "melt" value isn't going to be that high, the coin has to have some novelty appeal.
The mintage is declared at being just 1,000 coins, so not only is it massive and innovative, it's incredibly rare also.
The coin remains in it's original plush, velour presentation box, and is accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity.
