Hard to find coin in the original and successful CIT series of Meteorite coins. Coin displays the Muonionalusta Iron Meteorite and actually has an original piece of the meteorite embedded in the coin. Meteorite showers, which fall toward the earth, occur daily. However, only some make it to the surface of our planet. Most of them disintegrate in the atmosphere. The discoveries of these meteorites are special on every occasion. By coincidence, two boys discovered this special meteorite from outer space in Muonionalusta, Sweden. The meteorite in question is the fine octahedrite class IVA. On closer inspection the texture of the surface catches ones eye first. The very technical looking structure is attained by an extremely slow cooling down from 1 to 100 degrees per million years – an unimaginably slow process.
