| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylised aerial representation of a meteorite impact crater, rendered in deep relief with a darkened antique finish to evoke scorched earth and radiating blast striations. At the centre, a circular cabochon of lapis lazuli is inset, representing the celestial origin of the meteorite. Immediately below the central inset, a small square window encases an actual authenticated fragment of the Campo del Cielo meteorite, adding a remarkable numismatic and scientific dimension to the design. The legend 'CAMPO DEL CIELO' arcs along the upper border in bold block lettering, while 'PINGÜEN N'ONAXA - CHACO AUSTRAL - ARGENTINA' curves along the lower right periphery, identifying the provenance of the meteoritic material. |
