Description

2015 1 oz Pure Silver Coin – Chondrite Impact – Meteorite NWA 4037 – Cook Islands

STORY

NWA 4037 identifies several meteorites which were found in 2005 in Northwest Africa, more precisely in Morocco. The number in the description is given chronologically and is noted behind the abbreviation of the place they were found.

The findings in Morocco stem from multiple falls. The meteorite shattered into several parts through the force created when entering the earth’s atmosphere. This process commonly occurs with stone meteorites such as the NWA 4037.
