| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a detailed relief representation of the planet Mercury occupying the lower portion of the field, its heavily cratered surface rendered with fine stippling. Above the planet, set against a star-studded space field, a genuine fragment of Mercury meteorite is inlaid, presented as an irregular grey inclusion. The legend MERCURY METEORITE arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 2017 inscribed to the right, completing the curved inscription. The polished gold field and the contrasting texture of the planetary surface create a striking astronomical composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The BEAC issues collector coins on behalf of its six member states — Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and the Republic of Congo — none of which operate independent mints. These fractional gold pieces are struck under contract in Europe, primarily for the international numismatic market rather than any domestic circulation. The Mercury meteorite series draws on renewed scientific interest following NASA's MESSENGER mission, which completed its orbital survey of Mercury in 2015 before being deliberately crashed into the planet's surface.
