Just a few years ago sticking a piece of a meteorite onto a coin was considered innovative. These days innovative technique
requires a little more effort.

As the result, the Tamdakht Meteorite Strike coin is overstruck, leading to cracks and even a desired breakthrough where the meteorite seemingly struck the coin. During this monitored destruction process, the break points occur at random, making each coin unique.
