24K Gold-Plated Proof Coins Honour Mission To Mars

In February 2021, mankind took its big next step into space exploration, as the Mars 2020 Mission landed NASA's Perseverance Rover (nicknamed "Percy") on the mysterious Red Planet. After a seven-month, 290-million-mile trip, this car-sized, technological marvel got its mission of discovery rolling at Jezero Crater, Mars. Now, an impressive, museum-quality collection honours the NASA missions that have explored the Red Planet. Available exclusively from The Bradford Exchange, The Mission to Mars Proof Coin Collection celebrates this historic arrival with commemorative Proof coins, beginning with Issue One, Mars Perseverance. Soon your collection continues with Issue Two, Mariner 3 & 4 and FREE display box, followed by Issue Three, Mars Pathfinder. Additional Proof coin collectibles, each a separate issue, will follow. Each issue will arrive separately.‡

Intended as collector's items, each gleaming coin in this collection is offered in coveted Proof condition and richly plated in 24K gold to sustain its heirloom value. Proof quality coining dies create each non-monetary coin's polished, mirror-like fields and raised, frosted imagery. Each coin showcases imagery of NASA's Mission to Mars with selective colour enhancements. Issue One, Mars Perseverance, depicts the mission's launch on July 30, 2020, its interplanetary journey, and final destination, the planet Mars. An inset portrays the Perseverance Rover and its landing site. The back side of each coin showcases an American Eagle and Mars, inspired by the design of the historic Apollo 11 Moon Landing mission patch. Each commemorative Proof coin arrives sealed in a crystal-clear capsule to enjoy for years to come, and a FREE display box is included with your collection so you can display and store your Proofs. Strong demand is expected for this collection, so don't miss this opportunity. Order now!
