Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Euros (Copernicus) 2023 gold coin from Malta is that it features a unique rose gold plating, which gives it a distinctive pinkish hue. This is unlike most gold coins, which typically have a traditional yellow gold color. The rose gold plating was chosen to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish astronomer who is credited with the heliocentric model of the solar system. The coin's design also includes an image of Copernicus and a representation of the solar system, further highlighting his contributions to the field of astronomy.
