Tiny little Mercury is only slightly bigger than our moon. In fact, this sunbaked sphere resembles the moon in many ways with countless craters dotting its rocky surface. A planet of harsh contrasts, the sunny side of this lifeless world reaches temperatures as hot as 800° Fahrenheit while nighttime temperatures plummet to around 330 degrees below zero! If life DOES exist there it would be a miracle thanks to Mercury’s thin atmosphere and blistering solar radiation. While it’s highly unlikely any human will ever be able to set foot on this inhospitable planet, you can still explore its nooks and crannies through this magnificent silver coin that’s an exact reproduction of our solar system’s first planet.
