Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1990, and it features a unique design that showcases the Messel Pit, a famous fossil site in Germany that has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. The coin's design highlights the importance of the site in the field of paleontology and its contribution to our understanding of Earth's history.
