THE PHOTO ABOVE IS OF THE EXACT COIN IN
THIS AUCTION
This is a Zinc Alloy Based coin. The coin measures two
inches in diameter, 4.5 mm thick and was produced in an antique gold finish.
Attached
in a recessed crater on the front of the coin is an authentic specimen of the Northwest
Africa 869 stone chondrite meteorite.
The back of the coin gives basic information on the fall and is sequentially
numbered.
Production run was limited to 1000 coins.
OFFICIAL CLASSIFICATION:
Northwest Africa 869
Northwest Africa
Find: 2000 or 2001
Ordinary chondrite (L4-6)
History: It is quite clear that meteorite collectors in
Northwest Africa have discovered a large L chondrite strewnfield at an undisclosed
location. At least 2 metric tons of material comprising thousands of individuals
have been sold under the name NWA 869 in the marketplaces of Morocco and around the world.
Individual masses are known to range from <1 g to >20 kg.
It is certain that NWA 869 is paired with other NWA meteorites, although no systematic
survey has been done. It is also possible that some stones sold as NWA 869 are not
part of the same fall, although dealers are confident that most of the known masses are
sufficiently distinctive from other NWA meteorites in terms of surface and internal
appearance that the error rate should be fairly low. Scientists are advised to
confirm the classification of any specimens they obtain before publishing results under
this name.

A fragmental breccia of type 4-6 material; one thin section dominated by an L5 lithology
gave olivine = Fa24.2. Classification: Ordinary Chondrite (L4-6); S3, W1.
