Blue Marble Planet Earth 3 oz domed silver coin (2022 LPM)
Blue Marble is the name given to one of the most iconic photographs in history. Taken on the Apollo 17 mission from an altitude of 29,000 km, the picture depicts our home in all its limitless beauty. It remains one of the most reproduced images of all time.
Back in February, Hong Kong dealer, LPM, released a coin using this image. A domed one-ounce silver coin, it’s now been joined by a bigger three-ounce variant. Exactly the same design, on both faces (except for the obvious change in denomination), we are treated to an increase in diameter from 40 mm, to a more planetary 55 mm. It maintains the domed nature of the smaller coin, concave on the reverse, and concave on the obverse. The coin comes boxed, of course, and has a mintage of just 317 pieces. Available now.
