Commemorate one of humanity’s greatest scientific achievements with a coin as extraordinary as the machine it honors. This 2022 NASA Hubble Space Telescope coin is struck in solid Titanium, the “space metal” prized for its incredible strength and aerospace heritage.¹

✨ Struck in the Metal of the Stars

Titanium is one of the most difficult metals to mint because of its extreme hardness—it actually destroys steel dies!² Only a few elite mints in the world can strike titanium, making this coin a rare feat of numismatic engineering.

• NASA Official Approval: This coin carries the official seal of approval from NASA, proudly featuring the iconic red, white, and blue “Meatball” logo on the reverse.³

• Vivid Galactic Coloration: The reverse depicts the Hubble floating in the deep void of space.⁴ The background is a stunning, colorized tapestry of distant galaxies and nebulae, capturing the “star-birth” images that made the telescope famous.

• Sapphire Blue Obverse: The obverse features the Fiji Coat of Arms set against a brilliant, translucent sapphire blue background, creating a high-contrast look that mirrors the depths of the ocean and the sky.⁵

🛡️ A Milestone in History

Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of the universe.⁶ This coin was released to mark Hubble’s one-billionth second of operation, achieved on January 1, 2022.⁷

• High Purity Titanium: Struck from 31.5 grams of .990 fine titanium, offering a unique “smoky” luster that distinguishes it from silver or gold.⁸

• Ultra-Low Mintage: Only 5,000 pieces exist worldwide.⁹
