The inner disc is made of tantalum while the outer ring is silver. The mint and NGC calls this a proof but the outer ring does not have the same mirror finish as prior years; it is closer to a matte proof. </p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: No major changes compared to the 2006 coin</p><p>Reverse: The International Space Station orbiting the Earth with an astronaut floating in space. The insignia of the ISS appears above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quick Fact: The station combines five space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).</p><p>~~~</p><p><br /></p><p>My example is pictured below.
