Interesting fact
The 10 Lire coin from San Marino featuring a radio telescope was designed by the Italian artist and sculptor, Giuseppe Spina. Spina was known for his work in commemorative coins and medals, and his design for this coin was chosen through a competition held by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato (the Italian State Mint) in 1985. The coin was issued in 1986 to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist, mathematician, and astronomer who played a significant role in the development of modern science. The coin's design features a stylized representation of a radio telescope, symbolizing the importance of scientific research and innovation.
