A Historic Hand Poured Silver: Man in the Moon

It is not an everyday event that the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully blocks the Sun. "The Great American Eclipse" was a sight of a lifetime. On that day, millions of people, from coast to coast across the United States saw nature's most wondrous spectacle — a total eclipse of the Sun.

On that same specific day, a single and only one Man on the Moon Silver Round was poured by MrZeke. Knowing fully the significance of the pour, I immediately purchased the silver round from him and asked that he stamp it "The day the Moon covered the Sun, 8-21-2017"
Due to the small surface of the round, he stamped it like so:

... then sent it to me with this note:

I am just so happy to have this one of a kind and special Man In the Moon Silver Round to commemorate the "The Great American Eclipse" of August 21, 2017.

MrZeke has poured several of these rounds; this was the one and only pour he made on 8-21-2017

A trivia....

Sharing stuff learned in grade school:

The earth is divided into two hemispheres. From the equator to the North Pole is the Northern Hemisphere. From the equator to the South Pole is the Southern Hemisphere. California, where I live, is in the Northern Hemisphere.

Here in California, when a person looks up at the full moon, he/she will see a face like a smiling snowman.

Synopsis on The Man in the Moon: On Earth we always see the same side of the moon; it orbits in perfect sync with Earth’s rotation. Dark shapes on the face of the moon have inspired folklore through the ages. In the Northern Hemisphere, we tell stories about the “man in the moon,” while our equatorial and Southern Hemisphere friends picture the “rabbit in the moon.”
