| Reverse description | A large, highly detailed and color-treated depiction of the Martian meteorite NWA 6963 occupies the central field, rendered with naturalistic surface textures replicating the stone's fusion crust and regmaglypts as though the specimen were embedded in the coin. The meteorite is shown as it appeared after being blasted from the Martian surface by an ancient asteroid impact, with atmospheric coloring applied to heighten the geological realism. The legend MARTIAN METEORITE NWA 6963 is inscribed in the field surrounding the central motif. The reverse is finished in antique style consistent with the obverse, enhancing the specimen's dramatic visual impact. |
