The coin is further protected by an outer shipper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. The black proof finish highlights the frosted designs against darker elements representing the galaxy.
Obverse
The obverse of the coin includes the coat of arms of Cameroon. The design features a shield with scales at its center, symbolizing justice, topped by a star. Behind the shield are crossed battle axes, with radiating lines in the background.
Reverse
On the reverse, the coin highlights the NGC 1097 galaxy. One of the most distinctive features is the jet-like filaments of material that extend outward from the galaxys center. Discovered in 1984, these streams are thought to have been expelled from the galaxys core, creating a dramatic effect.
History
NGC 1097 serves as a fascinating example of galaxy mergers and interactions. It is accompanied by several smaller satellite galaxies, and evidence shows it has absorbed some of these smaller galaxies in the past. This process, referred to as galactic cannibalism, gives scientists key insights into the evolution and growth of large galaxies.
