The Austrian Mint’s “Supernova” 20 Euro silver coin has been named the ultimate winner of the 2025 Coin of the Year (COTY) Awards. The top honor was presented during a ceremony held in Oklahoma City, in partnership with the American Numismatic Association’s World’s Fair of Money® convention.
The “Supernova” coin, which also won the Most Artistic Coin category, was a favorite among judges for its innovative design. Its concave obverse features a rendering of the Crab Nebula, the remnant of the famous supernova first recorded by astronomers in 1054. The reverse design showcases a stunning colorized image of the nebula based on a photograph from the Hubble Space Telescope. As the inaugural issue in the Austrian Mint’s “The Beauty of the Universe” series, the coin celebrates the cosmos as a source of dynamic and beautiful events.
“The final ballot for the 2025 Coin of the Year winner was a close one. Only six votes separated the top three coins,” said Sophia Mattimiro, COTY coordinator. “The ‘Supernova’ coin pulled ahead for the ultimate win, the color and shape creating a striking design that appealed to the judges.”
