In 1054 AD, skywatchers from China to the Arab world bore witness to an astronomical spectacle – the birth of a supernova from a massive star ten times the size of our sun. That cosmic explosion gave rise to the famous Crab Nebula, which continues expanding outward over 900 years later to a breathtaking width of 11 light-years. Now you can own a piece of this stellar phenomenon with the 2024 2/3 oz Proof Austrian Sterling Silver The Beauty of the Universe Supernova Coin from BullionMax.

• Presented in a display box with a Certificate of Authenticity!
• First in the Beauty of the Universe series!
• Mintage limited to 30,000 coins!
• Contains 2/3 Troy oz of actual silver content.
• The face value of 20 Euros is fully backed by Austria.

Each 2024 2/3 oz Proof Austrian Sterling Silver The Beauty of the Universe Supernova Coin features meticulous proof finishing with a wavy, swirled surface effect evoking the energetic churn of a real supernova blast. These coins arrive in a display box along with a Certificate of Authenticity.

The obverse face provides scientific data on the famous Crab Nebula, revealing it lies 6,500 light-years from Earth and spans 11 by 7 light-years across. You’ll also find the German names “Krebsnebel” for the nebula itself and “Krebspulsar” identifying the source star.

The reverse design of the 2024 2/3 oz Proof Austrian The Beauty of the Universe Supernova Coin captures this explosive power in vivid color, depicting the magnetic forces and radiation unleashed into space.
