Interesting fact
The Airbus A-3000, which is featured on the coin, was a proposed commercial aircraft that was never built. It was designed to be a larger version of the Airbus A-320, with a longer range and higher payload capacity. Although the project was announced in the early 2000s, it was ultimately cancelled due to a lack of interest from airlines. Despite this, the coin still features the Airbus A-3000 design, making it a unique and interesting collector's item for aviation enthusiasts.
