Description
This extraordinary 2 Oz Silver coin is a cosmic scar. The WOW! signal. The first shout from the cosmos. Seventy-two seconds of pure astonishment. Ohio 1977: the Big Ear radio telescope detects a signal like nothing before. A spike of energy. Unexplained. Unrepeated. Astronomer Ehman leans over the printout, his eyes scanning the numbers. Until they find the strange string of characters: 6EQUJ5. Red ink spills his astonishment: “Wow!”. A single word. Pure. Electric. A genuine surprise against the cosmos’ riddle. Shrouded in the ancient enigma of Satin Finish. Polished to a luminous Proof, shining like revelation. The coin is sealed in a case with its Certificate of Authenticity. Only 499 pieces in the world.
Design
The reverse of this Silver coin unfolds our secret dream of communion with the unknown. A human hand reaches. An alien hand responds. Fingers tangled in a pitch of signal. Electric and trembling. In the background on the right, Big Ear shines in flawless Proof, flashing the light in a shard of revelation. Below, the signal tearing the cosmic quiet. On the left, numbers rise from the Satin Finish. Ancient. Mysterious. The string 6EQUJ5 burns encircled in red. “Wow!” scribbled beside. On the reverse, the other side of the dream. An alien reaches for humanity. Waves of signal flow through a portal. The Public Seal of Niue burning at the center. Big Ear witnessing in the background. On the obverse, also the inscriptions: “2 DOLLARS” – the face value, “2026” – the year of issue, and “NIUE” – the issuing country.
