Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Black Proof Cameroon Silver Galaxy NGC4945 Coin features Cameroons national coat of arms. This design includes a spade-shaped shield, a set of balanced scales in the middle, and crossed battle axes behind it. A single star sits above the scales.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2024 17.5 Gram Black Proof Silver Galaxy NGC4945 Coin displays a vivid, colorized image of the NGC4945 galaxy. A dusty band runs across the center, splitting the galaxys appearance. Because it emits radiation at many different wavelengths, its a key galaxy for researchers trying to learn more about how galaxies evolve.

History

NGC4945 is of special interest to astronomers because it is a Seyfert galaxy. This type of galaxy has an energetic core that emits radiation, most likely due to material falling into its central black hole. Even though some of it is hidden by dust in our own galaxy, NGC4945 is visible in infrared light and shows a beautiful spiral shape. Observations also show that the galaxy is forming stars at a high rate, especially toward the center.
