Interesting fact
The Caduceus symbol on the coin is a staff entwined with two snakes and wings, which was originally a symbol of the Greek god Hermes and later adopted by the Romans as a symbol of commerce and negotiation. It's interesting to note that the Caduceus has also been used as a symbol of the medical profession, as it represents the balance and harmony that a doctor should strive for in their practice.
