Pluck the moon out of the sky.

This 1-inch brass coin of Earth's Moon features a geographically (technically it's selenographically) correct 136,794,240:1-scale design of the surface texture of both its near and far sides. A great worry coin, gift, or reminder coin.

Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. The coloring/patina process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, so the coins will vary slightly.

Designed and engraved by Woody Maringer.

Archival packaging comes with a description of the coin and Moon Facts!

Shire Post Mint

Tom Maringer began making coins in 2003 for George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Since then, Shire Post Mint has grown into an internationally recognized company known for attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship, all while still being super nerdy!

Shire Post Mint aims to keep traditional coinmaking alive. Designs are hand-engraved into tool steel, then hardened, and mounted into an antique coin press, where they are struck into solid metals such as copper, bronze, silver, iron, brass, and niobium. The coins are antiqued to perfect the patina and give them a lovely softness in the hand.

Their work and process have been featured on PBS, TIME.com, Art Insider, GEEK.com, and more.
