Made in USA, this project is a collaboration with graphic artist Billy French, and is inspired by the diversity of the EDC community as well as the grandeur and mysteries of the universe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the name suggests, the Astronomer spinning coin can be spun on both sides, wiith proper practice, you could reach over 12 minutes of mesmerizing spinning time on a spin station with a bit of contact point lubricant. This is achieved by constructing the contact points from durable Si3N4 (silicon nitride) black ceramic. Plus, each coin is meticulously hand-balanced with the 'sunny side' up. This ensures the smoothest and longest spinning capabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design of the coin is truly incredible. Each side is different, with one representing the 'sun' and the flip side bearing the mark of the 'moon'. The sun is depicted with an intricate 'eye' motif, while the exquisite 'moon' side features all the different phases of the moon. It represents the two greatest forces exerting their influence on us, and the tension and balance that exists between these titanic entities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe designs were meticulously hand-drawn for the template. Then, each spinning coin is individually crafted from exotic mokume-gane—a traditional Japanese metalworking technique that creates organic wood-grain patterns through layered metal lamination. \u003cspan\u003eFirst developed in 17th-century in Japan,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan title=\"Japanese-language romanization\"\u003emokume-gane\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e was originally used for swords.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique mokume-gane material ensures that each coin features completely unique flowing patterns, making every piece a true one-of-a-kind.
