Interesting fact

The Struve Geodetic Arc coin was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, a prominent Russian geodesist and astronomer who played a significant role in the creation of the Struve Geodetic Arc, a chain of survey triangulations that stretched from the Arctic Ocean to the Black Sea. The coin's design features an image of Struve and a representation of the geodetic arc, symbolizing his contributions to the field of geodesy.
