Colored silver coin with diamonds 25 AUD Australia 2025 – Extragalactic 5 oz

This exclusive edition coin, crafted from 9999 pure silver and weighing 5 oz (155.53 grams), is limited to 1,000 pieces and is dedicated to deep space and the fascination with the galaxy.

The coin celebrates one of the most impressive cosmic objects—the Whirlpool spiral galaxy, located approximately 31 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. Viewed face-on from Earth, it dazzles with its glittering spiral arms, where new stars are being born.

Obverse: Portrait of His Majesty King Charles III
Reverse: A patinated color image of the Whirlpool Galaxy, surrounded by the inscriptions “EXTRAGALACTIC,” “23.58 KPC | 31 MLY” (diameter in kiloparsecs and distance in millions of light years), coordinates RA 13h 29m 53s | Dec +47° 11′ 43″. Four genuine diamonds—one pink, one golden, and two white—are hand-set into the design, reminiscent of the shimmering stars in the galaxy’s spiral arms.
