The Burkina Faso 1000 Francs CFA 2016 Château-Renard Meteorite silver coin commemorates one of the remarkable celestial events recorded in France—the fall of the Château-Renard meteorite on June 12, 1841. This impressive issue combines astronomy, history, and numismatic artistry, featuring an authentic fragment of the famous meteorite embedded directly into the coin. The reverse depicts the glowing meteorite streaking across a star-filled night sky above the rooftops and church steeple of the French town of Château-Renard, with the inscriptions "CHATEAU-RENARD," "FRANCE 1841–2016," and "1 oz Ag 999" identifying the silver purity and weight. The obverse presents the coat of arms of Burkina Faso, showing two rearing horses supporting a shield with a star, crossed spears, an open book, and the national motto "Unité – Progrès – Justice," together with the inscriptions "REPUBLIQUE DU BURKINA FASO" and "1000 FRANCS CFA." Struck in .999 silver with a Proof finish, this extraordinary collectible is an exceptional choice for enthusiasts of meteorites, astronomy, space exploration, and rare world commemorative coins.
