The "Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula & Black Hole" coin is the 3rd release in the "Space; the Final Frontier Coin Series":
The Universe is far and wide, containing many wondrous phenomena. One of these phenomena are the Black Holes, often at the centre of Galaxies. They are objects of huge mass, pulling anything in that goes beyond the event horizon for it to never return. Until recently our understanding of these objects was mostly science fiction, but with new discoveries humanity has been getting a step closer towards unlocking the secrets that the black holes hold.
The Pillars of Creation is a set of pillars shaped interstellar gas and dust formations in the Eagle Nebula. The name originates from the fact that the gas and dust, together, form new stars, referring towards the creation part. One could say that the pillars depict the starting stage of the stars as we know them today, for them to eventually end up in the black holes.
