The ninth edition of the Czech Mint's limited "Solar System Series" is dedicated to Uranus. Like the previous editions in the series - Sun (1.), Moon (2.), Earth (3.), Mercury (4.), Venus (5.), Mars (6.), Jupiter (7.) and Saturn (8.) - the coin has been refined with the "Lunar dust effect", which is a combination of proofing, sandblasting and laser. Besides Uranus, other planets of our solar system with their orbits are depicted on the motive of the silver coin. The design is completed by the inscription "URANUS". The reverse shows the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, framed by orbits and planets. Uranus is the third largest planet in our solar system after Jupiter and Saturn and four times the size of the Earth. Its orbital period around the sun is 84 years. The blue gas giant first became known after it was discovered by William Herschel on March 13, 1781. It consists mainly of hydrogen, helium and methane and has, according to current knowledge, a total of 27 moons - the four best known of its moons are called Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. The limited Uranus silver proof coin is delivered in the original box including a certificate of authenticity.
