🌌 Design & Inspiration
Mercury, the smallest and fastest planet in the solar system, is known for its extreme terrain and heavily cratered surface. This coin faithfully recreates that rugged planetary texture in three-dimensional spherical form, enhanced by a deep antiqued finish that accentuates every ridge and impact mark.
The carefully chosen mintage of 4,879 pieces reflects Mercury’s diameter in kilometres, adding an intelligent and symbolic layer to this already distinctive release.
🪙 Craftsmanship & Finish
Struck from 99.9% pure silver, the Mercury Sphere is finished in a dramatic antiqued patina that gives the surface depth, contrast, and a truly otherworldly appearance. The unusual globe shape elevates the coin beyond traditional formats, making it a standout centrepiece in any modern or space-themed collection.
📦 Presentation & Collectability
Each coin is housed in a modern display case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring long-term protection and collectability. With fewer than 5,000 pieces worldwide, this release offers strong appeal to collectors of:
