Interesting fact

The Murchison meteorite, which is featured on the coin, is one of the most significant meteorite discoveries in history. It was discovered in 1969 in Murchison, Australia, and is believed to have originated from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The meteorite is composed of silicate minerals and contains a high concentration of water, which suggests that it may have played a role in delivering water to Earth and other planets in our solar system.
