Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by the famous Italian sculptor and coin designer, Giuseppe Pongelli. He was known for his unique style that combined traditional techniques with modern themes and materials. In this coin, he used a stylized representation of the Earth, with a large crack running across its surface, symbolizing the damage caused by human conflict and the need for peace and unity. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the end of World War II and to promote peace and reconciliation among nations.
