A large fireball detonated over the Nigerian state of Oyo on the afternoon of April 19, 2018. A meteoroid entered the Earth's atmosphere.

The obverse of the coin features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" - the Queen's name, "COOK ISLANDS" - the issuing country and "5 DOLLARS" - the face value.
