Description
This extraordinary 2 Oz Silver coin is a shard of stardust. A ghost of Pioneer 10's silent voyage through the void. The first probe to leave the solar system. Humanity's first messenger to the stars. The first attempt to shake hands with life in the cosmos. A cosmic whisper thrown into the endless night. Its last signal faded on January 23, 2003, sent from over 12 billion kilometers away. Now drifting alone. A silent traveler in interstellar space. Bearer of a truth. A desire for greatness imprinted forever in the universe. This coin comes in a case, along with a Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage of 499 pieces worldwide!
Design
The reverse of this Silver coin speaks the language of the cosmos. A man and a woman stand naked in the void, raw and unguarded. Pulsars blaze like distant beacons, mapping Earth's secret address in a star-scorched cipher. The hydrogen atom spins, holding the universe's pulse. Flip it to the obverse, and the voyage unfolds: Pioneer 10 drifting alone into the black. A Silver ghost crossing the endless night. On the obverse, also the inscriptions: “2 DOLLARS” – the face value, “NIUE ISLAND” – the issuing country, and “2025” – the year of issue.
