2017 Planetary Coins Astronomical Pop-Up Solar System 10 Coin Set

With its very rare coloured $2 Mars coin this collection explores what we know about the planets of our infinitely wondrous Solar System and what we are yet to discover. We know ancient cultures such as the Assyrians, Mayans and Indigenous Australians all referenced the stars and planets in some way. However, it wasn’t until the very early 1600s when people like Galileo Galilei pointed an exciting new instrument called the telescope at the heavens, that we saw giant leaps in our understanding of the Solar System.
