Reverse

The reverse of the 2024 Proof Colorized Alien 1 oz Silver Coin presents an intense depiction of two extraterrestrial figures. This years artwork portrays the aliens armed and ready for battle, reflecting the idea that contact with alien life could lead to conflict. The addition of red colorization enhances the striking appearance of the design.

History

Interest in extraterrestrial life surged in 1947 following the Roswell incident. That summer, a rancher in New Mexico discovered unusual debris on his property, drawing the attention of the U.S. military. Although the government insisted it was a weather balloon, theories of a crashed alien spacecraft quickly spread. This event helped shape UFO culture, intertwining with Cold War tensions and the space race to fuel ongoing speculation about extraterrestrial encounters.
