The Royal Canadian Mint's massive globe coin is a wonder from Barbados

Shaped like a globe and issued from Barbados, the Royal Canadian Mint’s new release won’t fit the average person’s pocket.

The new Blue Marble silver coin doesn’t weigh as much as the now sold-out Big Silver Maple Leaf coin (which weighs a whopping 10 kg), but at 1 kg, it’s still heavier than the usual assortment of change in your pocket.

But getting your hands on this collectible will cost you a pretty penny — you can purchase it on the Royal Canadian Mint website for $4,999.95. You also have the option to pay with six monthly instalments of $833.33.

The coin is made of 99.9% pure silver and measures 150 mm in diameter. It has a face value of 25 Barbadian dollars (C$17.80). The spherical coin is also detailed with vibrant blue enamel and 24-karat gold plating.

“This stunning silver coin meticulously portrays the beauty of our planet: the Earth,” reads the Mint’s website.

“From expansive water bodies to detailed mountain ranges, each feature showcases the artistry and precision that defines this extraordinary collectible.”

The coin also comes in its own display case and a Certificate of Authenticity. If you’re a collector who loves rare finds, it doesn’t get rarer than this — the Mint limits purchases to one per customer, and only 199 coins will be available worldwide.

According to the website, the Mint is awaiting stock for the Blue Marble silver coin, but it’s expected to ship on March 19.

The Mint has released some pretty unique designs recently: a $175 shadow box coin, a puzzle coin, and a $30 silver horoscope coin.
