The Shape of the Milky Way
This phenomenal S-shaped 2021 Austria Uncharted Universe: Milky Way 2/3oz Silver Proof coin is as intriguing as it is beautiful. The mint continues its description,
"The combination of the convex and the concave surfaces on the coin's obverse results in an S-shaped silver surface upon which the Milky Way is depicted. The angular dimensions of the galactic coordinate system show the position of the sun in relation to the rest of our galaxy.
The position of the Orion Arm, in which our solar system is located, is also marked. So are the positions of the astronomical phenomena Cygnus X-1 and Crab Pulsar, which play a special role on the other two coins in the series. The coin's reverse features the same image of the spiralled Milky Way, though in spectacular, colour-printed form."
