The birth, life and final fate of a star are written across the fabric of the cosmos.

Each coin in this series becomes a window into one stage of this evolution, drawing on visual techniques known from the “Galaxies” collection such as high quality digital printing and a central magnifying lens that reveals layered astronomical structures.

From the stellar nebula where a star emerges, through the brilliance of a blue supergiant or the quiet glow of a white dwarf, to the dramatic finale of a supernova or the depths of a black hole.
