This original silver coin represents the Tamdakht Meteorite Strike of 20 December 2008 in Morocco. The Tamdakht Meteorite Strike coin is overstruck, leading to cracks and even a desired breakthrough where the meteorite seemingly struck the coin. During this monitored destruction process, the break points occur at random, making each coin unique.
