A Miniature Mercury in Silver

The spherical surface recreates Mercury’s dramatic cratered landscape, with the dark antiqued treatment enhancing the depth, texture and rugged appearance of the planet.

The unusual spherical format allows the design to continue around the entire surface, creating an impressive miniature representation of Mercury rather than a conventional flat coin.

The Barbados Coat of Arms is incorporated into the design along with the coin’s legal-tender specifications.

Limited to Only 4,879 Worldwide

The worldwide mintage of 4,879 pieces has special significance, corresponding to Mercury’s approximate diameter of 4,879 kilometres.

Presented in a floating display frame that allows the sphere to be viewed from multiple angles, the 2022 Barbados Mercury Sphere combines 1 oz of .999 fine silver, innovative three-dimensional minting, an antique finish and an extremely limited mintage.

A standout piece for collectors of innovative silver coins, astronomy-themed releases and low-mintage world collectables.
