The Socorro UFO Incident silver coin was issued in 2025 as part of the “Interstellar Phenomena” series, dedicated to mysterious events related to sightings of unidentified flying objects. Made of two ounces of 999-fine silver, it commemorates the high-profile incident that took place in 1964 in Socorro, New Mexico. The collectible nature of the issue is highlighted by its high relief, Antique Finish, and full-color digital printing. The elaborate design recreates the atmosphere of the mysterious encounter, combining cosmic motifs with striking craftsmanship.
The coin’s design effectively captures the mysterious atmosphere of the events in Socorro. The obverse depicts an unidentified flying object seen from above against a desert landscape and includes basic information about the issuer and the issue. The reverse depicts police officer Lonnie Zamora observing two humanoid figures standing in front of an oval-shaped object in the desert. A police car and a starry sky are visible in the background, and the composition is complemented by the name of the location, the geographic coordinates, and the year of the event. High relief, an antique finish, and full-color digital printing lend depth to the scene and emphasize its extraordinary, otherworldly character.
