Description

The Sombrero Galaxy cuts a shadow-like silhouette across space, with its narrow, glowing core and sweeping dust ring. This contrast inspired the coins in the “Galaxies” series by Mennica Polska. A central magnifying lens invites closer observation, revealing layered structure in photographic detail.

A collector’s tribute to astronomy – and the human instinct to look beyond the visible.
