Comment
The highlight of the coin is the nano chip, a high tech product of computer industry. On the chip belonging to this coin there is not only the portrait of William Shakespeare, but the complete text of the whole tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" which is probably the most well-known and most popular masterpiece of the great english poet. The single letters, visible only under microscope, are perfectly sharp. No Laser could produce such a precision; to create the letters the surface is shooted with single electrons. The chip only melts if temperature reaches a level above 1,000 degrees celsius.
