The Galaxy Coin collection is a unique, low mint, stellar artwork project. Focusing on collectors, collections, and space exploration.

Combining encapsulated certified coins, and studying portions of astronomy.

Space exploration is something the that will continue far into the they future, so the collection will stand the test of time.
