Description: Coin is round in shape, with front and back sides - raised rim on. Coin with featuring an original piece of the moldavite.

Moldavite, a natural bottle-green glass, originated from a high-pressure modification of quartz. Moldavites were formed 15 million years ago during the impact of a giant meteorite in present-day Nördlinger Ries. Splatters of material that was melted by the impact cooled while they were actually airborne and most fell in Bohemia. Currently, moldavites have been found in area that includes southern Bohemia, western Moravia, the Cheb Basin (northwest Bohemia), Lusatia (Germany), and Waldviertel (Austria).
