1 Oz Chautauqua Silver Works Time Series E.M.I.T Round BU

There are five rounds issued in the Time series by Chautauqua Silver Works.  This thought-provoking series deals with how time is perceived.  Mintages were 10,000 for the first two rounds and the series and 5,000 for the final three.  This is the fifth and last round in the series.  The rounds are minted with a proof-like finish.

Obverse: The central image on the obverse is the face of a clock with the time set to 6:42.  Inside the clock face there are images of the sun, moon, and stars in the upper half and a factory in the lower half.  The lower half also has the seal for the mint with the motto "ONE MORE OUNCE, ONE LESS FETTER".  The numbers on the clock are Roman numerals.  Inscribed across the middle of the clock is the name of the mint "CHAUTAUQUA SILVER WORKS"  along with the weight, purity, and content of "ONE OUNCE .999 FINE SILVER". The inscription at the outer circle to the top reads "TIME" while the bottom inscription states "THE INCREMENT MEASURING EXISTENCE".  

Reverse: The central image on the reverse is also the face of a clock with the time set to 6:42.  Inside the clock face there are images of a UFO leaving Earth in the upper half and a view of Earth from a different celestial body in the lower half.  The numbers on the clock are Arabic numerals.  Inscribed across the middle of the clock is the name of the mint "CHAUTAUQUA SILVER WORKS"  and below that are three sets of initials "RWK", "SC", and "PK". The inscription at the outer circle to the top reads "E.M.I.T" while the bottom inscription states "EXISTENCE MEASURED IN THEORY".
