1.124 ozt Comet Kohoutek Silver Medal EE815

This is a commemorative medal for Comet Kohoutek from 1973. It is a 24KT gold on sterling silver medal produced by The Franklin Mint.

The image shows a gold-colored medallion or coin with a representation of a comet's orbit around the sun.

A comet is a celestial body composed of rock, dust, and frozen gases. 

Comets orbit the sun, and as they get closer, they heat up and release gas and dust, forming a coma (a large glowing head) and a tail. 

The tail of a comet can stretch for millions of miles and is always pointed away from the sun. 

Comets are often referred to as "dirty snowballs" and are believed to be leftovers from the formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago.
