Interesting fact

The 2005 French "From the Earth to the Moon" silver coin features an unusual design element - a small, round insert made of a piece of the Muonium meteorite, which fell in France in 1810. This insert is visible on the coin's obverse, and it's said to represent the connection between the earthly and celestial realms. This unique feature makes the coin truly stand out among other commemorative coins.
