This is the second geocoin I have that features migration as a theme, this time with butterflies and humans, over a number of generations. As a bioligist and long-time science fiction fan, I hope it's true that someday we'll venture beyond this planet.
This is the New Worlds Edition of 'A New Home'. It features a nickel finish on a bronze core with transparent orange, black, green, and transparent blue enamel. The coin is large at 2 inches in diameter and has a custom icon showing a monarch butterfly.
A large number of animals are migratory and travel long distances to ensure their survival. Nature awakens something in them and they answer the call to leave all that they have known and to move on in search of a new home. Monarch butterflies are well known for their epic journeys that require generations to complete. One sets off, but it never reaches the end. It is left to its children or grandchildren to finally enter the Promised Land.
Humans are like butterflies in that their survival depends on listening to the instinct that compels them to leave behind their comfortable routines in order to seek out a new valley, to cross uncharted oceans, and finally plunge into the sea of stars to look for a new home. A journey this grand will not be completed in one lifetime.
