Comment
This is the second coin in the three coin series The Northern Sky. Gracing the Northern Skies year round, Ursa Major has fascinated astronomers and storytellers for ages. The celestial Great Bear and her seven major stars comprising the "Big Dipper", are rich in folklore.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique domed design, showcasing the stars of the Northern Sky and the constellation Ursa Major in a way that gives the illusion of a 3D effect. This design was achieved through a special minting process that involved striking the coin multiple times to create the rounded shape and detailed relief. The result is a visually stunning coin that is sure to catch the eye of any collector or astronomy enthusiast.
