Interesting fact
The coin's designer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was a renowned German poet, playwright, and natural philosopher. He was also a prominent figure in the Enlightenment movement and served as a privy councilor to the Duke of Saxe-Weimar. Goethe's influence on literature, philosophy, and science has had a lasting impact, and he is still widely studied and celebrated today.
