Comment
The design of this coin was not approved, so was not minted the total quantity planned; but before knowing the rejection, minthouse already had minted and delivered 23 pieces.Hot air balloon is a means of transportation based on the hot air inside of the balloon makes vehicle lighter than air, so it floats on air. Height of flight can be controlled heating the air to elevate, or letting it cool to descend. Also extra loads are added, that can be thrown if a fast raise is needed.
