Comment

The Tamdakht H5 Chondrite meteorite was observed as a fireball on December 20, 2008 traveling West to East with people in the High Atlas Mountains hearing a sound and feeling the ground shake. It took a few weeks to find the first pieces of the meteorite due to the mountainous region and snow.

Interesting fact

The Tamdakht Meteorite Strike coin is a unique and interesting collector's item, as it contains a small piece of the Tamdakht meteorite, which fell in Morocco in 2016. The inclusion of this meteorite fragment makes the coin truly one-of-a-kind and adds to its value and appeal for collectors.
